Exactly. There's a familiar pattern to this debate. Someone categorically declares there can't be any exceptions to free speech.

Inevitably, someone brings up a counterexample.

Then the original person replies that it doesn't count, because it's not speech and there's a different word for what it is. Libel, incitement, terrorism, whatever word is needed to cover the example.

But in doing that, you've carved out a category for things that are excluded from protections afforded to speech.

Then the next thread comes around, someone declares there's no exceptions to speech, and the cycle continues.
