I must begrudgingly agree. Freedom of speech means ALL speech is legally protected, no matter how unpopular. That doesn't protect their actions or make it morally justifiable, but censorship is a slippery slope with no soft landing at the bottom. Let people be free to be douches and let other people be free to call them out on their douchery. When it goes beyond words, however, step in.

Ooooh, I like that line. Some folks say evil doesn't exist. I'd like someone to look me in the eye and say that sadism is not inherently evil.
