That's a good question but I read it somewhere and can't place who said it now. I read it by someone that claimed you censored them. I was surprised I must admit however free speech can enable all of us to defend ourselves if someone makes claims that are untrue. That's the beauty of free speech. I don't think I'll be able to trace it back as I read a lot of stuff. But it will help me ask more questions when a claim is made like that. Sorry if it is inaccurate.
ok, so maybe if you don't have evidence then you should not write this stuff about me? I ban trolls from my page, and people who are rude to me or my readers. That's not censorship since I am not government, by the way.
Ok so Sasha dear, that's censoring. You can't ban anyone let alone people you claim are trolls. That's the thing about free speech, you can't be half pregnant about it. No if you allow yourself to do it but not government then that's a double standard. And it goes the same way if you allow government to do things but not your peers, (like stealing for example) This person you call a troll was actually quite genuine. I get that too, people call me a troll but I just want to seek truth and it makes people feel uncomfortable so they think slapping on a name to it is justification. I think this idea of free speech and censorship needs to be ironed out or we're going to get trounced. What is harmful about words written on a screen? It is the one place we can be truly free and you're throwing that away. for us. That endangers my life and everyone's life because if we succumb to censorship for any reason, except maybe someone who is going to report us, or someone who makes threats against us, then it will give consent for government to censor and big tech. There is way too much sensitivity to words on a screen. This is where we must talk openly and freely and not accuse someone and shut them off. I notice that's what always happens - the censor wants their say but denies someone from having their say. Your readers can make up their own minds. Censorship keeps us in the supremacy paradigm and holds us back and that will only fuel the ghouls who want to kill us all. Free speech is all we've got. We have nothing else and they have everything. Why be on the side they're on? Just because someone doesn't say things your way? You can always ignore them too. But to cut off someone's expression should be considered a crime - it's THAT crucial. We are in dangerous waters enough. Why make us sink lower?
ok, dear Denise Ward. Specially for you! Here we go. "fuck you bitch [add a bunch of obscenities blah blah blah] " Phew Denise, I just had the best free speech event of my life! Thank you for it. No, as we discussed you can't censor any of this, you have to endorse it right here and acknowledge every word was absolutely correctly right!!!
In conclusion, Demise, I will run my substack exactly as it pleases me and ban every troll that is a rude and disrespectful idiot off my page, since it is my work product and my interaction with my readers. you can run your substack absolutey the way you prefer, and I do not interfere with your decisions.
I don't think you're the real Sasha. Wow, such a response sure shows your level. No I won't censor it though, why? Like I said it's just words on a screen and we don't really know who you are. I doubt your who you purport to be because I don't think she would answer like a drunken sailor. I don't have to endorse it but I certainly have no intention of censoring it that would be preposterous. I'd rather everyone can see you for what you speak.
I am 100% real Sasha, Denise. I hope this was a lesson to you. Do you need another lesson? Or are we done moaning about "free speech"?
PS. Denise Ward acknowledged she is a moron, and she endorses this since it is free speech. She will never censor this ever. Free speech Denise, remember! You love it, right? You love being called retarded, no?
No we're not done. The lesson is for you to learn. Just because you responded like a drunken sailor still didn't cause me to censor you. You thought I would because it would justify your own transgression. You are the one who has missed the point. And if you don't get that free speech is of the utmost importance for humanity especially now when technocrats are salivating to shut us up, then it seriously shows your intelligence is not quite up to snuff.
ok, cool! I win. You acknowledge you are a retard. Awesome. Free speech is amazing. Especially when I can exercise it at morons who believe that they must take abuse because they must uphold my right to abuse them, when they in fact have no such obligation, since they are NOT government. But just low IQ hypocrites like Denise Ward! This is so amazing, I can't even begin to describe it!
I don't call writing to be abuse. You're associating real life with online life. Online it must be always free as it's words on a screen. I can ignore you too but you can say anything you like about me. It's your opinion and opinions are a dime a dozen. Substantiated opinions are what matters to me. Calling someone who disagrees with you a moron and all the diatribe you did above, just shows you do not know how to argue. And I think the guy was right about you. If it is really you, it goes to show that an education doesn't necessarily mean intelligence.
I am so happy you do not equate real life with online but nonetheless you are stupid, Denise. You do not have to take any abuse in life, not IRL, nor online because you are NOT GOVENRMENT. OK? Neither do I. I know how to argue, and you don't. You only know how to bend backwards for your abusers, and I pity you.
You can see the state humans are in - and this is why. You just demonstrated it. We cannot talk except if it's in accolades or certain language that dazzles our egos. How you responded is a full demonstration of what I talk about. I don't feel abused because it's just words on a screen. In "real life" if you did that, which also happens a lot if someone speaks their truth and it "hurts someone's ego", it can be quite dangerous. I'm a woman and women are constantly made to shut up, so I see the internet as a place that we can safely say what we want. But it's women who are throwing that away with claims of abuse or "cyber bullying" which I am constantly trying to explain that life is different online than it is in "real life". I think you showed yourself to be quite discombobulated in your thinking, chaotic and without reason. That's what happens when one speaks from "the wound" meaning the ego. Striking out like a wounded animal rather than a cogent, intelligent, top of the food chain, human. I get what you were trying to do, it doesn't escape me, but that you acted like a troll yourself in order to prove your point which got unproven as I didn't censor you at all, which is what you tried to provoke to justify your own actions, and when your little test didn't work out, you claim it did. Talk about discombobulated!
While I tend to side with denise ward in this little dispute here, I wonder if denise ward would allow every expression if she were in charge of a space (a blog, a chat room, a substack, a forum, etc.). What if someone were repeatedly issuing death threats? What if they were doxxing others in the space? What if they were spamming obscenities and nothing else? I.e., there usually are limits, though one tries to minimize deploying them as much as humanly possible. I don't know why Sasha banned those people, but the danger comes in where a person does not adequately discern the difference between a minimum measure for maintaining order in a space, and censoring over ideas we don't like.
What about the reality that so many commenters censor their own real names in order to say things anonymously. If you are hiding your name, you are being inconsistent when you condemn censorship. And defaming people who do use their own names by people who don't, is a real obscenity. Good thing that Sasha, Denise and Tony... we're all using our real names here.
Your words might carry a bit of weight (as it stands they carry none) if you had a shred of evidence that Sasha censors. Having spent my life in the world of writers I recognise the difference between censoring and editing and I know scores of writers who have bleated that they have been censored after a judicious edit. Saying you read something somewhere but can't remember where doesn't amount to much more than gossip.
"That's a good question but I read it somewhere and can't place who said it now. I read it by someone that claimed you censored them. I was surprised I must admit however free speech can enable all of us to defend ourselves if someone makes claims that are untrue."
In other words an unsubstantiated accusation. These days in particular we should be very careful and avoid that.

Thanks to Demise The Troll, this is the first time I wish that Substack comments had a downvote button.

So you say that Denise doesn't need to take any abuse and then you abuse her multiple times in about 60 words?
You can see the state humans are in - and this is why. You just demonstrated it. We cannot talk except if it's in accolades or certain language that dazzles our egos.
