Au contraire, contextually it is clear that my statement "Taken apart root and branch" means by exposure. No more of CATO's agents and ilk being allowed to crawl back under the rock to escape the light of day without such exposure, 'your straw-man lie notwithstanding'.
'Stifling' of speech is typically and generally understood to mean censorship. Exposure may in fact, and indirectly, 'stifle' you...if you don't have the courage of your convictions...but it is unimportant and irrelevant to the position I advocate. But if you were in fact 'stifled', it would be by your own timidity.
Personally, in fact, I would rather you spoke more...and so that you can be more thoroughly debunked. So that your cause can be discredited and loses any public influence, because it doesn't deserve it any more.
