Correct me if I'm wrong but that letter seems to speak out for free speech and against shaming. Why are these guys regretting signing?

I think as we talk about double standards, this becomes an important thing for both sides to acknowledge:

Any examples of Trump canceling someone? The only possible one that I can think of is Colin Kaepernick

Are you serious? The guy has literally made "fake news" a universally recognized dismissal of anything anyone doesn't agree with.

Apparently we have a different definition of "Canceling".

According to Wikipedia, canceling is

Quote
a form of boycott in which an individual, who has shared a questionable or controversial opinion, or has had behavior in their past that is perceived to be offensive recorded on social media, is "canceled"; they are ostracized and shunned by former friends, followers and supporters alike, leading to declines in any careers and fanbase the individual may have at any given time.

You're right. I can't think of any individuals, any businesses, or any media outlets that fit the description of being cancelled by Trump.

He has trouble sometimes when it comes to producing facts
The latest deflection is usually that he doesn’t want to go in circles for 100 pages

Anyone that left the administration and criticized Trump. Bolton would be the latest one.

You want to go around in circles. You can do that on your own from now on. If you want to see how to have an honest discussion look at AJK posts.

Trump, right wing and Kool-Aid drinkers tried to cancel Bolton.

Hate crime?
Don't know but the idiots are trying to stay within the lines. So it will be BLM in black instead of yellow.  :)

Surprised there is no discussion of the irony of Yglesias having been attacked for signing on the same letter as Rowling.

Meanwhile in a letter responding to this one

Quote
Not only is there no significant evidence of inappropriate censure linking these instances, it’s unclear what examples the authors, some of whom are considered writing icons, are even drawing from to make their point.

Also in the same letter

Quote
Many signatories on our list noted their institutional affiliation but not their name, fearful of professional retaliation. It is a sad fact, and in part why we wrote the letter.
Feelings don't care about your facts
