'Support for X' ≠ 'Support whatever rules _enforcing_ X" Frankly, I am more on your side than it may seem.

I DO support the right to offend, to an extent that may probably shock you. Even more so in Universities.

I fall in the "Free Speech absolutism" end of the spectrum. No "risk of offence" should be excuse to limit it

I prefer to address the problem of censorship even where its legal & should be legal. Even individuals doing so.
