WTH are you talking about? The only way to determine whether you believe in free speech or free expression is to consider your position on the most extreme content.
It's not very difficult to believe in free speech for stuff you already agree with, is it?

Is sexual abuse of children a crime?
Is what is happening in those vids in question (consenting adults premised) a crime?
OK, simplified questions, but as far as I know the answer to question one is yes to question two it is no.
By the way: Obscenity laws = No freedom of speech.

Unlike you, I expect Joe to give a straight answer the question I asked. Furthermore, I expect him to answer 'yes' to the question I asked, because he has already said there is no limit on free speech.
I understand what his position is; it's not a unique position, but it's not a position that many people agree with, because while it's admirable in theory I don't believe it's a position that works very well in practice.
Given your avoidance of the question, or even the premise of the question, I can only assume your answer to my question is "no". Therefore, to take Joe's fundamentalist stance, you don't believe in 'freedom of speech' either, you're just quibbling about the definition.
