Using the somewhat centralized default trust system to 'threaten' people with dissenting beliefs is not consistent with the libertarian beliefs bitcointalk was founded on and the values of free speech.
Libertarian bullshit again, ain't it?And it is an abuse of power and a threat to free speech.
This has nothing to do with free speech. You can post the same way that you would regardless of the state of your trust rating. Any change in such would be a decent indicator of hidden motives.He can continue writing, but users who share unpopular beliefs are now more afraid to express them, knowing there's is a possibility they will get red-tagged!
Unpopular =/= objectively false (a.k.a., a lie).You as an individual with a red tag can keep posting.
But an individual without a red tag is disincentivized to post because of fear of getting a red-tag on his account.
Unpopular = false?
So, you too, believe in flat-earth?
Since, believing the earth is round was quite unpopular
Also, instead of arguing about flat-earth you could tell me how come you forgot to speak Croatian after resetting your e-mail?
