what are you talking about?

This subject has come up before. I recall getting into it with Neo on the subject of the march in Skokie. I agree with you that the test of one's commitment to free speech is gritting one's teeth when people say things that are repulsive to you.

Having said that, this has long been a hot button for Neo for understandable reasons. It seems to me that it's better to debate free speech with a different example when doing so with him, one with repulsive speech that doesn't hit so close to home. Pressing this particular example cannot produce a good outcome.
