Comment on Neil Gaiman: Why defend freedom of icky speech?

Comments

Great argument, but it's way too long winded.

While he could have stated his point more succinctly, what made the article notable was how he used his personal experiences to make the point. You can google and pull up dozens of takes on the first amendment that come to a similar conclusion, but this article was interesting for providing an account nuanced by Neil Gaiman's first-hand experience.
