The principle of free speech does explicitly exclude repercussions. You can of course draw you conclusions and you are not forced to associate with anybody. But the nature of the internet that potentially connects anyone to everyone else will have such cases, even just by cultural differences. To believe you can have the same basis in every interpersonal interchange is naive. If that is hard for you, you can trivially easily withdraw from any discussion. > In the past accountability seemed like a major factor. The past status quo isn't desirable. You do not have to expose yourself to anything if you do not want to. But many people do not want to get back to that. I do not like to associate with people that seems to be fond of prosecuting others for trifles. Yet I will make sure they are able to state their opinions.
