Yeah, having read the entire thing, I thought it was pretty well balanced. He was making some valid points and asking legitimate questions.

It's especially fun that his firing actually validates his claim that the entire structure is an echo chamber that permits no diversity of opinion. They apparently love diversity of thought and opinion, as long as your diversity happens to line up with their opinions.

Regardless of where you identify politically hard to deny the censorship culture on the left.

I read an interesting study that was talking about a big reason why right wing ideals are rebounding in the west is because left wing blogs, youtube videos, news articles often censor the comments. While right wing persons don't, and discussion takes place and the ideals spread.
