This is the only comment I feel like I can meaningfully respond to (and agree with). Much of the rest of the opinions expressed (especially in the most upvoted comments) are done so in such a way that makes it seems as though there's no debate to be had. You're either for or against free speech. No in between. Of course, counterexamples abound but it doesn't matter in this discussion. Truly a sad thing to witness. As the Chinese proverb goes, we certainly do live in interesting times.
