   @freemo @Romaq Where did you learn the phrase “Free Speech” from? Truthfully, what did you think it meant? It’s not just you, but I’ve been seeing people over and over again singing its praise, yet when it comes to actually demonstrate the principle where it’s needed most, it gets abandoned.

     @Romaq yea, we never meant free speech tto mean any speech, but people seem to insist thats what we mean... I feel academic freedom might help convey a more accurate principle.

     All too often, "Free Speech" = "Freedom to yell fire in a theater," which is explicitly forbidden within the US despite the knuckleheads that don't seem to grasp the difference.

     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exceptions

     "Fighting Words" & "False Statements of Fact" among "forbidden free speech."

     I have just changed the ToC for #QOTO.. We replaced the phrase "free speech" With the more appropriate principle of "Academic Freedom". We also changed some subtle wording to be more explicit.

     In practice our rules have not changed in any meaningful way. I may make some more tweaks soon.
