    4 is essentially paraphrasing Voltaire. Belief that offending someone is a violation of their rights leads to authoritarianism and censorship. 4 says you can be a dick; 1 says you really shouldn’t be and 6 says you should apologize when you are.

      Most of the shade I have seen thrown at IV is based on somewhat overly Libertarian quotes from the founder Lucian Graves. The organization as a whole leans extremely left, so some were caught a bit off guard. I’ll have to dig it up, it was years ago, but also Lucian is not a perfect individual (nor is anyone).
