[tyjlidig] Liberals

Are you an orthodox liberal or (for lack of a better term) an unorthodox liberal?

Inspired by the term "liberal orthodoxy".  The defining feature of liberal orthodoxy seems to be the belief that it is acceptable and worth it to suppress speech and ideas deemed harmful (but by inflicting social consequences, not governmental censorship).  E.g., political correctness.

What is going on underlying this dichotomy?
