Jason raises several objections to my take on Gab & the anime tiddy problem; his thread is worth reading.
i honestly can't give satisfactory answers here as the *frame of reference* is partly orthogonal to mine - and my vocabulary for highly derived problems is lacking :-)

my support for Gab's choice is nuanced:
i don't like *the* choice they made.
i do like the fact they were *able to* make a choice.

the dualism (direct dislike / meta like) has a parallel in the freedom of speech problem: do we allow people to advocate abolishing freedom of speech?
*allowing* is defeatist; *disallowing* is self-defeatist.
of course that's a false dichotomy :-)

since the theory runs impotent here, it behooves us to turn to empiricism:
instead of globally instituting "yes to advocating" or "no to advocating" through pondering
we let *local* communities try either, and observe the long-term results.
probably it is the stable state.
