Anyone who unironically calls themselves a "free speech absolutist" needs to go meditate under a waterfall for a few years on what the point of free speech is, and what the consequences and implications of that are.

Care to elaborate your point? I wouldn't label myself a "free speech absolutist" (seems like blowhard posturing), but my belief in freedom of speech does have an absolutist framing (it's a natural right flowing from computational enfranchisement plus the existence of cryptography).
