    Good : It makes the conversation intelligent and sane.

    Bad : People sometimes say bad things.

      Free speech in no way makes a conversation intelligent or sane.

      Free speech is necessary to prevent the government from censoring dissent.

      The consequence is that there’s little to no legal repercussions to spreading lies and hate. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be repercussions.

        Imagine a censor who thinks that all of his weird dogmatic opinions are pure golden truth picking over your conversations and rewriting or removing everything he doesn’t like. A rather stupid, sloppy censor who couldn’t get the point if it was underlined twice.

        Imagine what your posts would convey then.

              You are the one who brought up censoring. The person you replied to just said “consequences”. Others not liking you and not wanting to talk to you anymore is a consequence.
