If this is the case and you genuinely believe what you have already stated about free speech, then by following your beliefs, you would simply leave the post and tell the reporter to ignore the post/thread/poster
I believe that free speech shouldn't be punishable by law, the law and the rules of an informal website such as this are two different things and it's ridiculous to compare them. Banning someone is in no way comparable to sending them to prison thus I don't see the point in this continued attack on my mod status.
