Just pointing out that by hating them, you're adding to it, that's all

[Inquisitor]

I'm ok with that.

Personally I believe in the Freedom of Speech only being allowed where there isn't a negative intent.

Nazi's are negative. They don't get Freedom of Speech. They can however, get a fist full of whoopass and assortments though.

Personally, I think even paying attention to them is what they want. Political movements only make headway when they have airtime. Hating them is a dream come true, so is attacking them, Look how much money the Phelps family has made over the years simply by being hated.

They are not worthy of my hate, they disgust me, yes, but they are small, insignificant, impotent and loud. The trick is, no matter what they spew, treat it with the utmost contempt it deserves, and focus on things that are, in some way, involving the use of our higher cognitive functions.

Your message has negative intent

this should be banned and you should be punished


So who gets to define the rules and how are they interpreted? It's easier and safer for everyone to have ridiculously broad concept than to narrow it down and define all kinds of misconduct.

And what happens when an artist or writer makes a statement that should or could be interpreted ironically, and people inevitably fail to understand that? Then you get people not only being punished for opinions, but for opinions that may not even be theirs.
