The free speech thread

I agree, but then again it's a thin line.

It was a heavy topic for years in the Netherlands after two public people were murdered because they supposedly offended lots of people.

One was shot by a backward muslim, the other by a lunatic animal liberator. Free speech is unlimited, but one must act when mad people start threatning to kill people for their opinion. That's the paradox.
