Now now gentlemen. Stanky has a right to his opinion, no matter how outlandish it is.

Science is a religion. For fucks sake. There is no debate possible. Just let it go.

I don't like this outcome anymore than either of you.

But there's nothing constructive to be done.

It is what it is.

Just another reason humans deserve to be doomed.

No, it is not. Not by any reasonable definition of the terms "science" or "religion".

You mean like: ¨I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it"?

c´mon man, Voltaire died in 1778.

Some things transcend that right and deserve to be silenced. Antivax, racism, sexism...

I think today I'd be inclined to add climate denial to the list.

You misunderstood. I didn't say that. Stanky did many moons ago.

Some things deserve to be silenced? You're fooling with censorship and that's clearly not the answer.

Everywhere has some form of censorship, and it seems to work fairly well.

I see no need to allow antivaxers a platform to spread their shit on.

Well we'll.

Sorry, I can't agree.

I don't like the shit they're spouting any more than you TA, but censoring them isn't the answer.

You can't kill an idea. Even a bad one.
