I often find myself disagreeing with your views, but in this case I mostly agree.
I'm open to ideas of how to best deal with extremist thought (and subsequent action), and I do feel simply arguing that speech should be fully free is nice but a tad too reductive and dogmatic.
Whatever my thoughts on what we /should/ do, I feel what's happening now is way too knee-jerk and a possible lead-up to policy that just gives 'the powers that be' more power, and that's worrying.
