Microsoft Blogger Robert Scoble has taken on the critics and become a champion of free speech, according to a new post on his blog in relation to his policy of not deleting comments
He writes:
“I believe strongly in freedom of speech. Even speech I might hate. It takes a thick skin. Yes, I have provided a soap box for people to say some distasteful things. Yes, most corporate types don’t agree that I should give people such a soap box (I know most other corporate webloggers delete comments)…But, I think it’s important to hear from everyone, not just those I like.”
(ed note: now if only the holier than thou, saving the world, serial comment censor Andy Baio (waxy.org) would take notes…)
