If you're "far from a free speech absolutist," then by definition you accept that free speech should have consequences. And even most self-described free speech absolutists agree on some acceptable consequences, like incitement to violence, perjury and slander. And not all consequences are legal. Human beings are social animals and consequences have always existed for violating common norms and taboos. Go into a synagogue and start handing out copies of Mein Kampf and see what happens.
