The issue is with the notion of "allowing" speech. Everyone should be allowed to say whatever nonsense they want, even if it's offensive, crude, ignorant, cruel, or false. No one gets to be the umpire of who gets to say what.
Speech does come with consequences. If you piss someone off they can complain to your employer, your spouse, the authorities, etc, and you have to deal with that as the price of your free speech. Consequences do not mean regulation of speech.
