Amazing then that there are people who defend their right to be abusive and call it "free speech".

Yeah, I watched a program last night about Internet trolls, one they focused on in particular was a guy who trolled the remembrance page of a teenager who'd killed himself because of Internet bullying. It was funny how this guy wasn't as eager to exercise his right to free speech when you could see his face and he had to talk to an actual person with his mouth and not his fingers.
