Curiosity

Respectfully, I wonder why people are censured for speaking the truth.  

Authors regularly accept criticism, perhaps even gratefully, from their peers and editors.  As a general rule, they know full well that the open flow of opinions will spark adaptation and foster improvement.  By contrast, protestors and participants of civil disobedience are derided or thought of as traitors, as though the acknowledgment of a fault entails immorality and malice.

Even in the scope of theory, of academia, one who speaks a minority view is often shunned without anything more than nominal attention paid to his actual argument.  Would you happen to have a hypothesis as to why?

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
