I'll give you a hint since it's clear you haven't even looked, and just made these assumptions completely blindly. "The Resistance" thread is where you will find the liberal activists' response to the Milo event. Go take a look for yourself, the post history is right there for everybody to see.
I have zero burden. I am on this board at the pleasure of its owner and his agents. They may revoke that any time they please.
So you want to go on record saying the majority here doesn't advocate shutting down free speech they don't like? I'll hold "you" to it. None of you thought closing down Trump's campaign speech in Chicago was a good thing?
A moderator here certainly implied he was OK with Milo being shut down from speaking by violence:

UC Berkeley officials were afraid that Milo would possibly target specific undocumented students on campus and single them out during his presentation.

"We are deeply concerned for all students’ safety and ability to pursue their education here at Cal beyond Milo’s speech,” the university’s Office of Student Affairs said in a letter Tuesday to the Berkeley College Republicans, the students hosting the event. “Milo’s event may be used to target individuals, either in the audience or by using their personal information in a way that causes them to become human targets to serve a political agenda.”
The letter expressed concerns that Yiannopoulos — a British writer for the right-wing opinion site Breitbart News — will use his appearance to kick off a campaign “targeting the undocumented student community on our campus,” and linked to an article published Tuesday on the site.
Sure sounds like justification of shutting Milo down to me, even though the UC administration allowed the show to go on....

If written in the middle of the Milo discussion this doesn't advocate taking extralegal means to 'follow your conscience', I don't know what does.
