Thank you for your support. :-)
It's not obvious in my original comment, but I was speaking somewhat wistfully about the philosophical concept of free speech. As a practical matter, I believe humans will generally continue spitting in the food of people whose ideas they don't like, or whose looks they don't like, or who even just happen to remind them of their asshole exes. Those who will actually live in a principled fashion are rare enough that we note them in history books.
