The opposite also applies. If you post something in an open forum I respond to it in an open forum. I wouldn't post my reply as a private message.

I could send this to you privately but engage at the same level. If you send me a PM I'll reply to you as a PM. If you post on here and engage in conversation we stay here unless we bore the bits off people or are asked to go elsewhere.

Liberalism, free speech and the defence of liberty in all it's senses are interesting bedfellows but I don't think are the subject of this thread. If you want to start one I'll happily chat about it.

If the triumph of liberal thinking is to allow and encourage the spread of views that are diametrically opposed to the freedoms that liberalism seeks then that is a little confusing to me.
