TheRationalRedditor posted:Ahaha, backpedal on that stern (hoo hoo) conviction, now. That would suddenly be wasting your time, not those initial unprompted paragraphs of bile. Wow. Get a load of this Jimmy Norton white knight over here. I'm feeling generous so I'm going to show you how you should have responded to a person's valid discourse: "Many comedians we consider to be the greatest used exposure from outside the comedy club to get where they are. Patton Oswalt comes to mind as a comedian that is revered by many as one of the greats but really used his near decade long stint on a lovely sitcom and a voice acting gig on a massive film to leverage his name and put asses in seats. So the fact that his role of being incredibly funny on a comedy radio show allowed him to get more people seeing him at comedy clubs and being offered more comedy specials it, well, kind of makes sense."

It was just on yesterday's show that he told a story about taking pictures of black dudes selling CDs in Times Square and not letting up even after they acknowledged him doing so.

mousetrench posted:True, but I have to point out that "free speech" is not synonymous with "the first amendment". So when people complain about not having free speech, it doesn't mean that they are complaining about their first amendment rights are being violated or that they are claiming that their company was breaking the law by disciplining them or whatever their situation may be. If your employers will fire you for saying certain things then your free speech is being limited. This is not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. Whether it's good or bad comes down to the specific circumstances and also to subjective opinion/preference. But it is a pet peeve of mine when people take the "if it's not government prohibited speech then it's not a free speech issue" line. I'd still say it's not a free speech issue as there was no actual stifling on Sirius' part. They allowed Ant to publish any and all of his thoughts on Twitter - it's just that those published thoughts were contrary to Sirius' best interest (not getting horrific publicity and then losing subscribers and sponsors and then losing money) and they ended a business relationship. If they had prevented him from making those tweets or deleted them without his consent - then yeah, that totally would have been a free speech issue. But if we prevent Sirius from taking action to disassociate themselves from someone that is harming them in some fashion - then we would be limiting Sirius' free speech. I understand that you aren't placing a judgement of right or wrong in such a circumstance, but I think the premise of it being a free speech issue isn't valid unless another person/organization is actually stopping you from expressing something.
