I don't believe appealing to /u/ekjp on the grounds of equal treatment of ideologies will work. Here is why.
I don't know Ellen Pao of course, but I think like many powerful people who act the way she does, she believes that she's "fighting the good fight."
She thinks that her unequal treatment of certain ideas, or her favoritism of others, is payback for years of it happening in the other direction. In other words, she thinks that she is fighting inequality.
Whether she realizes that she is fighting inequality with more inequality, or that she is ignoring and infringing upon the very principles that allowed people like her to rise to positions of power in America in the first place, I do not know. But I do know that trying to argue about equality or freedom of speech with people like her will usually fall on deaf ears, because they will almost always tune you out. They are quite literally social justice *warriors*, and as long as they believe a war is going on, they are never going to listen to reason.
There's nothing here!
