She can write anything she wants. My bafflement at why it is popular here isn't some kind of censorship.

There is a thing that happens a lot where people nominally argue for free speech in a manner that suggests that asking X question or saying X thing should not be allowed. If one genuinely believes in free speech, then that doesn't work.

As best I can tell, it seems to frequently be rooted in an assumption that asking such questions is really some passive-aggressive agenda to prevent someone else from expressing themselves.

I happen to have a deep and longstanding interest in social phenomenon. I find it fascinating to puzzle out the details of why X flies when it seems like it shouldn't, but Y doesn't when it seems like it should. This is frequently interpreted as nefarious behavior with some preconceived agenda. It really isn't, anymore than wondering at some edge case programming bug is inherently nefarious.
