That's okay.
I mean, I'm not saying that they're wrong to be offended, but they are wrong, I think, to not allow the other side to speak, right?
So I actually say neutrality and free speech are very close.
They are mutually supporting.
And a society that has lost neutrality
is in danger of losing free speech as well.
It's commitment to free speech.
I think that's a good point.
I love that.
