I’m not sure Nick is advocating the legal restriction of speech in any respect. How does your example of extremist clerics support your point about allowing speech behavior? And what exactly is ‘speech behavior?’ An action that garners freedom of speech?

Pretty simple - if it doesn’t hurt anyone to make a statement, it should be protected. But if we start restricting things because it upsets someone, we’re starting down a slippery slope. Offensive speech is the only type that really needs protection.

I would imagine it’s hurtful to the Jews that survived the camps, as well as Jews in general. But I guess I really don’t know. You seem to know what is and isn’t hurtful

This is an emoticon of me teabagging you. It doesn’t hurt anyone... let’s see what happens next. I’m not actually teabagging you, mind you. It’s just a symbol.
