It's what moderators/admins of these forums have been trying to tell the Tonys/Tankies of this world for what seems (to me) like eons.

Free speech is very flexible term , I remember running a poll about it before .

An interesting read. Somewhat similar to the situation in Mayo with Castlebar.ie and a local paper that was discussed on here some time back - speech is not as free as some believe it to be.

Quotespeech is not as free as some believe it to be.

Does nobody believe that people should take responsibility for what they say?
