Which "principle" of free speech do you mean?
Absolutism: no speech is off-limits.
Maximalism: the range of ideas expressed must be maximized.
Those two ideals of free speech are incompatible. Variety of expressed views suffers immensely when people show up to attack all groups other than themselves.

And somehow, those people always show up.
