    I’m just here to defend freedom of speech.

    Ensure you understand it first:

    ‘Freedom of speech is the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, by any means.’

    https://www.amnesty.org.uk/free-speech-freedom-expression-human-right

    Thus my point that freedom of speech is not a freedom to lie or a freedom to spread hate or encourage violence (this is a general point, I am not referring to your views in particular).

      Honestly, that’s very insulting and I don’t appreciate the insinuation. I know very well what the freedom of speech entails and I donate monthly to amnesty international.

        All I would say is that you picked up a very odd example to defend the “freedom of speech”.

          That’s just the thing, freedom of speech is for everyone, not only the people you like and agree with, this conversation has come full circle now.

              I think the prior comments provide adequate context. I’ve said everything I have to say on the issue and I’m bored now. Have a nice day.
