I guess what I’m saying is that as far as I’m concerned CH’s form of expression was lacking social value because while free speech is important, so is the social contract requiring civility. Maybe that’s just me & my puritanical American outlook, but… *shrugs*

Sergey makes a good point but there is some vulgarity stewed together with biting satire. I like vulgarity, but not all do.

I’m reminded by a recent notion from Tim Wise: free speech isn’t free, but a lot of it is cheap.
