Let's be fair. Let's not treat free speech as some meme we're going parade around in a negative context by calling it "FREE SPEECH™". Free speech is awesome. I'm glad to be in a country that (for the most part) practices it. We wouldn't be here without free speech.
I understand the arguments against hate speech. I don't mind them practiced here, since even a full-on democracy has its flaws. (So a policy of keeping anything that gets upvoted is also flawed.) Let FPH users post their bullshit elsewhere on the Internet.
However, let's be respectful of the slippery slope we've created. Because it is a slippery slope. Do not prance around with absolute power declaring "FREE SPEECH™" as the enemy.
