    The notion of banning books is incredulous. What is the point, preventing people from getting “wrong ideas”? Is the public incapable of thinking for themselves? Also, tell us your favourite banned book op!

      Is the public incapable of thinking for themselves?

      TBH, kinda yes. I’m not a big fan of the idea that every and any kind of speech has to be allowed, and books aren’t necessarily a fundamentally different category from twitter posts.
