    I don’t think that’s what happened here, as the people who witch-hunted Lineham were most likely trans rights activists, and not necessarily free speech supporters.

    I.e. It’s closer to progressives eating their own than anything.

    What the 'witch-hunters' were is not relevant to the point I was making, which is that when what Lineham had been doing was applied to him he realized it was problematic.
    He realized his "rules" were wrong.
