As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“It’s incredibly reassuring to hear that flat-earthers and 9/11 truthers can also double as the speech police. Oh, and arguments about censorship decisions can get so intense that moderators would threaten supervisors with physical violence if they overruled their decision.” - National Review
