I agree that it doesn’t seem trumpeted, and the author is really pushing his point quite far, but your point that they don’t seem to take a stand on free speech would appear to be incorrect:

- geofft 5y agoFair - but my reading of that page is that it's actually not a commitment to free speech (as the author would see it, at least), it's basically saying that insisting on exercising your right to freedom of expression when you know people would be offended is unwise and discouraged in this subculture. If anything, the incident described in the article is pretty consistent with this page.
