That Saxon Hawke has the inscription "A man travels the universe in search of what he needs and returns home to find it." added near the entry port of every ship he purchases?
As I said to Bloodbird...if you believe this stuff, why would you share it? It's only going to lead to your, well, disadvantage.

I'm saying that, if I want to get out a message about censorship, I'd prefer to be posting videos of Christopher Hitchens.
So, he was a talented wirter, using that for his activities as polemicist and demagouge. Using rhethorical talent for that doesn't make it any better nor is it a redeeming factor in my book: In fact, it rather makes it worse.
I don't disagree. I meant his career has redeeming qualities when taken as a whole. Anyone interested in being an essayist would do well to read him. I am not saying it redeems his later work.
Still, with his anti-thesim he's certainly not a greater advocate of freedom of speech than anti-feminists.
