The great British philosopher John Stuart Mill wrote in On Liberty,
“Strange it is, that men should admit the validity of the arguments for free discussion,
but object to their being ‘pushed to an extreme’; not seeing that unless the reasons
are good for an extreme case, they are not good for any case.”
