Unfortunately, Jacobson then ruins his point about how debate is stifled and society stunted by moaning about the less important world of 'like/dislike' and conflating that with the actually commentary being liked/disliked, which is the real problem he's meant to be talking about.<br /><br />Having said that, Jacobson will probably be attacked for this because his the itchy polemicists he's supporting tend to provoke unapproved thoughts, which to the SJWs is the same thing as inciting hatred.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
