Precisely. Nowadays, opinions different to one's own are always the object of censoring campaigns. If one dares blurt out something someone finds offensive, one is silenced or insulted. Free speech is precisely that - free speech. On the Internet, if one encounters someone who has opinions which violate one's own expectations (for example, perhaps he/she is against same-sex marriage), my personal advice is to block him/her, ignore him/her, and move on with one's life. What he says may not appeal to you, but he has the legal right to say it, and you cannot take that away from the person.
sooo we should silence the other persons right to free speech? the person who responded with why they felt person 1's opinion was shit and needed to be eliminated? the right to free speech is also the right of another to say their piece about what you said. legal right just means that you cannot go to jail or face other sanctions fro the gov't for it, it does not grant you the right to not have repercussions for your speech.
