Many thanks Ethan for razing Hoder’s case again. It;s a fried, a fellow blogger and he was only expression his political views peacefully, using his real name and the power of “editor: Myself”.

I always had trouble with double standards and a crying hypocrisy that some of the online free speech advocates are observing when it comes to supporting victims of repression or censorship who do not share their political or ideological points of view.

As Voltaire said, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Voltaire: “Je ne suis pas d�accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai pour que vous puissiez le dire librement”.
