Glad you noted the Harvard faculty vote on Swarmy that the Crimson supported. Their opposition to hate speech is inconsistent as well. In discussions they prohibit hate speech (a loosely defined term) on the comments section, except for some hate speech. When I objected to personal attacks the commenter added accusations of mental illness, a legal disability, to "stupid" and being "a troll," whatever that is. According to Crimson standards it is only hate speech toward the priests of the victim hood class, black people, women, homosexuals, Muslims and illegal aliens. But it is still OK to stereotype and to demonize persons with disabilities, and to use disability to discredit opponents. Few journalists disagree with the Crimson editors.
