That’s what happened when everyone is cheering for censorship

Exactly. That was me as a lefty and that's still me on the right. Unless you are directly inciting violence or what your say is otherwise illegal, don't fucking censor it. Or ban the user. Let bad ideas out and get shit on.
That whole "freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences" argument is great, but I feel like people misuse or misunderstand it when they use it as an argument. Freedom of speech says you can go stand outside with a sign that reads "I HATE <insert any group here>" and that's fine. His consequence shouldn't be talking his speech away, it should be the rest of us using our free speech to call him an a-hole.
