Yes. Free speech within reason should be authorised but I never understand those who defend bigots in the name of it. The line is crossed when it infringes on someone else's rights not to be offended without due cause. I remember on here a year ago when some racist moron made vile digs towards Fabrice following his heart attack and people on here were saying it was all right because he should be allowed to say what he likes.
I did start a very similar threads to this a while back but it seems to have disappeared.
