re: #248 Obdicut

And therein is the fundamental difference between our viewpoints. I believe that the First Amendment fundamentally guarantees the right not to self-censor, so that people can make their own informed choices between good and evil, between viewpoints that are beneficial and those that are repugnant, and among all viewpoints between those extremes. I do not believe anyone has the right to tell anyone else to self-censor based upon the substance of the other person’s opinion. Even, and perhaps even especially, when I find the other person’s viewpoint to be repugnant, I insist on the other’s right to speak freely; the marketplace of ideas will sort out the proverbial wheat from the chaff.
