While you may not agree with his speech, it is disingenuous to call his posts and comments spam, except that here in his blog he has repeated several comments (that I am not upvoting BTW, because they are simply repetition).
As a rule, he puts thought and research into his posts, and does not spam. I've never seen it if he does, and I've been following him for a long time.
It is particularly those we do not agree with whose speech we should protect and consider most carefully. Those that agree with you and only say thing you already know can teach you nothing. Them who disagree and speak things we aren't familiar with can - if considered with an open mind - teach us things we did not know, or show us we are wrong, giving us the opportunity to become right by changing our minds.
Indeed only folks sharing information we are unfamiliar with enable us to learn anything at all.
As a witness you are the wall that defends Hive from spam and scammers, censorship, and technical errors. If the community on Hive must be completely in agreement with you before you will defend their speech here, I do not support your witness.
I urge you in the strongest possible terms to carefully consider that, and to affirm that you are absolutely supportive of free speech, which only has meaning if you support the speech of those you disagree with. Even the worst censors protect their own ideas.
