    Seriously, people need to get past the idea that support for freedom of speech means I have committed to listening to them even if they are rude, unreasonable or boring twunts.

        Is “twunts” a Britishism or did you make that up?

        I'm assuming that its a Britishism from all the Americans who seem not to have heard of it!

        It should be obvious from the words "freedom of speech". It's not called "obligation to listen" after all.

        "Twunts" American: "The British, Irish, Scots, and Australians have much better insults than we do." *stores for later use*

        "twunt" gets more attention than freedom of speech here. A marketing idea hatching anywhere?

        Yeah, rude, unreasonable and boring twunts (hmmm, i need to look that one up) are free to scream and shout their opinions at everyone and you surely are totally free to mute or block them.

        I agree, I don’t think setting up personal boundaries is censorship. Although a lot of Free Speech Warriors on Twitter think it is.

        Well, quite. We should all be as free as possible to think and say what we like, but that doesn't extend to the power to compel others to listen to us (or to take us seriously/treat our views with respect).
