So you can justify punishing someone for an opinion?
I wouldn't approve of any racial slur being used, but that doesn't mean I
would want to see it banned. There's a difference I think between making
something socially unacceptable and disallowing it by a mandate.

Then I guess we should impose formal speech codes here. Strip away the
ability to express an opinion, because heck, opinions are offensive. No one
can get hurt. Lets be happy and live in a padded world together. LUGNET
Newspeak, enforced by the LUGNET Thought Police.
