When I was in law school, a student at the school decided to publish his notes online for anyone to see or use. Unfortunately, his notes referred to certain demographic groups by slurs that our society broadly considers repugnant. People got loud at him. IMHO, it was earned. That’s an extreme example, but it illustrates a point. Though our constitution guaranteed freedom from government encumbrance on speech, people can and should face consequences for violations of a code of conduct that would be illegal for government to establish. IMHO, the question is not whether there are lines people shouldn’t cross, but where those lines lie.
