I am on record, having posted the point on more than one occasion, that I do not Moderate “hate speech.”
I find the various definitions vague, to begin with, and often shifting, (depending on whose ox is being gored). While I believe there might be something such as “hate speech,” (I suspect that spray painting a Hakenkreuz on the house of a Holocaust survivor would inflict more suffering than spray painting “fuck you”), I have never found the various examples presented or several laws (outside the U.S.) enacted to be sufficiently consistent to determine which statements are hate speech and which are not.
Since all examples that are presented as “hate speech” are definitely examples of stupidity,and since the motto of the board is “Fighting ignorance,” I prefer to point out the stupidity rather than silence it with a censor’s hammer. Silencing it always runs the risk of giving others the impression that it was truth being suppressed. Pointing out the errors embedded in it deprives the author of a martyr schtick while educating those who were unaware of the idiocy or lies of the claim.
