Stanley Fish shows the power of calm and reasonable argument while writing on those who abuse the threat of censorship whenever they get a little heat for what they do or say. This article reminds me of those who, when told to shut up, or that their comments are inappropriate, shout about their first amendment rights. When a Colombia professor publically wished for a "million Mogadishus," and he was (rightfully) attacked, some people rushed to his defense as a matter of the first amendment, when that was never the issue.
