I think this goes to show you how few people support actual free speech. I'm not sure if they would feel differently if they were extended the right in practice. They aren't, in practice, so I'm not gonna judge.

I can fully support all of this being the actions of free people and still tell the newspaper that I think they're wrong and they suck. Free speech can only be mandated so far by the government. People have to believe in it.

What's weird about this case is nothing he said comes close to any lines. The speech is at worst rude, not anything close to threatening or slanderous.
