I guess where we disagree is the point of whether such restrictions constitute a form of legal limitation on free speech...? Or do we in fact disagree? I'm confused now. LOL

I think we're dissagreeing on what material is.
Material the last time I've considered the matter has to be - you know - material. Somebody being offended is not material. Everybody being offended is not material.
Treason, inasmuch as it MATERIALLY benefits the enemy, is not protected speech.
That kind of material.
