I'm all for free speech, but fuck, there is a limit...

As I said, free speech is limited and I'm not claiming it shouldn't be. But how restricted to you want your freedom of speech to be? Maliciously lying about someone is one thing, calling someone a whore, a retard or a lunatic is something else... Once you get punished or censored for that, like it's happening over here, your freedom to speak your mind is getting restricted to dangerous levels..
