Thank you, that's true but doesn't catch the nuance of my argument. It doesn't need to be hate speech to have a chilling effect on public debate. Name-calling instead of actual political discourse, for instance.

I've been called many things but liberal or fascist are seldom among them. I do observe comrades who use those terms very lightly and in uncomeradely fashion though.
