 It would seem obvious that you believe in free speach as long as the views 
expressed are not to different from yours. The concepts of warped, annoy, or
protected rights are subject to the interpretation of the person reading the
article. I am not trying to stand in defense of what eric said only the right
to express his/your views. Many people have been persecuted due to the views
they helded being unpopular at the time.

 It may be necessary to wade through thousands of lines of trash to find the 
one true gem but that gem may never have been expressed if censorship was 
allowed to rule the net. This is supposed to be an information exchange and
if we muzzle the radicals and the radical views we will be uninformed when/if
it becomes necessary to resist them and their kind. Silencing the opposition
does not destroy them it just drives them to find other more devious ways to
expound their beliefs.

 Don't drive them into hiding, force them into the open where all may see 
the danger in there ideals.
