> What you said about Elon is clearly derogatory and could easily be considered hateful.

It was from an actual quote of his in which he claimed to be a "free speech absolutist." I did mean it in a derogatory way, because just repeating it makes him seem silly, but it's an actual quote so not slanderous or anything.

That said, I agree that nobody has the right to live a life free of criticism and some folks need thicker skin (including myself from time to time).

>If somebody is directing somebody to kill somebody that is causing physical harm towards an individual and should be illegal

Well there you go. We both agree that some speech has to be illegal, we just disagree as to exactly where that line is. I think it's perfectly reasonable for us to disagree about *exactly* where the line is, as long as everyone understands that there is a line.

To me that line is very simple: My rights end where yours start, and vice versa. As far as I can tell it's the only sensible basis for any kind of society. You can make it more complicated if you want, but the only way to get more "freedom" than with my plan is to take away someone else's and I'm not cool with that.
