The right to free speech also includes the right to express distaste of the speech used by others. I'll give Salman Rushdie the benefit of the doubt - Loyola Jan 16, 02:39 8

  - No one is arguing that it's negotiable. It is a matter of personal choice if one wants to insult others. - Loyola Jan 16, 02:56 5
    - like all free speecn is a matter of personal choice yes - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 03:01 4
      - You equate expressing distaste with the speech of others akin to attempting to stymie free speech. It is a mistake to do so. - Loyola Jan 16, 03:13 3

        I agree. It is the responsibility of the sender as to how they wish to conduct themselves. Peace out. -- nm - Loyola Jan 16, 03:36 1
