I think you should be allowed to say anything you like as long as you truly believe it to be true.

But you shouldn't be allowed to say things that you know are false just to hurt other people. Like accusing someone of pedophillia knowing full well they never molested you, but you say it just to destroy their life. Or knowing full well there is no fire in a theater, but you scream fire! in a crowded theater just to watch the chaos.

It's fine to scream fire in a crowded theater if you really do think there is a fire though.
