So then if you have 2 people, person 1 who only wants death threats to be disallowed.

And person 2, a person who thinks that any criticism of the government should be banned, then you think that these two people are the same?

That would be ridiculous.

Support of free speech is on a spectrum. And yes, some people support free speech more than other people, and not everyone is the same.

Some people support more free than others, even if everyone wants death threats banned.

Be awfully nice if everyone wanted death threats banned.

There are people who make excuses for death threats under the logic that none of them are serious so people on the internet should all just grow thicker skin.
