Just because I've done it, doesn't mean it was right for me to do it, Linus.
God, this is kindergarten level morality.
Morality's not the discussion, numbnuts. Morality is a personal decision, something you teach your children.
The point is you don't use authority to clamp down on people being assholes. They are free to be as big of an asshole as they want until they start causing direct physical harm to someone.
As an addendum, there are plenty of ways to be an asshole besides a few words with mystical powers.
If someone has done it, he may well realize that it is not a reason to ruin someone's life over it.
You won't convince the left that corprate-enforced speech laws are bad without scalping some of them. They must suffer in order to learn.
Unironically be a cracker. Whip them with their own standards.
