From what I've learned here on HN someone who thinks that "free speech" is absolute - their right to free speech outshines the personal rights of others. So instead of discussing where my rights end and your rights start, they will argue that no line should be drawn.
In addition, from what I understand, they seem to think that democracy is a consequence of "free speech", not the other way around.
