I've never set foot in Michigan, yet I'm very well antiquated with this mindset.

Why would you want to stop anyone from speaking somewhere, when they have something to say about the topic? Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean that others shouldn't get the chance to make up their own minds. Suppressing opinions and other theories or schools of thought isn't a very good idea, especially when those opinions etc aren't out calling for harm to come to people.

Well, it seems that the ASA conference went off without a hitch. No one stopped Steve Silberman from speaking at the ASA Meeting, and his address has been given favorable reviews.

Another triumph for Free Speech and Free Thought!

This thread was opened by a sock puppet for a member who was banned some time ago. He has been expedited once more...

NB: Steve Silberman, you may want to PM me about this, that's fine.
