Don't confuse tolerance for free speech with the dubious concept of hate speech and its selective application.

  Ah yes, that's why he banned all those journalists who spent time reporting on the lawsuits against him, because he's all for free speech. Nah, the dude is for his brand of free speech, which is you can hate the people he hates and you can do what he likes and you can stay on his website.

    Interesting how you provided a direct counter example and your comment got flagged for it. I thought the free speech absolutist crowd wouldn’t mind someone disagreeing with them

    Wow. This is a totally legitimate, reasonable comment and you got flagged for it. I've actually never seen that on HN before -- every flagged comment I've ever looked at turned out to be full of abusive language and attacks. It makes me sad that multiple HN'ers flagged this. :(
