From this thread there clearly is some level of enthusiasm for a decent, engaging thread on this issue, and I'd actually love to read it. i just don't think freedom of speech is really the issue here, not to mention that all of what you mentioned isn't really what is meant by freedom of speech anyway. the real issue is...what were you expecting? at the very least a thread like this in CT might work, but in chitchat?
I see what you're saying. I definitely came off as upset with the hecklers, but I was more disappointed that the thread was prematurely locked. Thanks OWA for opening it back up though I hope it fares better in CT.
