&gt; quoting the trustees: “Had Bill just stopped tweeting, we would have come to the right answer.”<p>The issues aren&#x27;t important; it&#x27;s all about the Teams!<p>I&#x27;ve seen people, here, say that Magill&#x27;s resignation was good because her words had been &quot;a gift to the opposition.&quot;<p>If you want to defend these people and support them for &quot;free speech&quot; reasons; great! I&#x27;ll join in. And then ask them why &quot;COVID Vaccine&quot; doubts, questions about integrity of elections, or pictures of persons known to have been kidnapped are not also &quot;free speech&quot; equally worthy of defense.<p>If you can defend a call for the genocide of <i>any</i> group, you may be defending the principle of free speech. If only <i>some</i> groups are acceptable targets; then you are mired in the same swamp as the assholes calling for the genocide.
