Quote:If you believe in free speech, don't be disturbed. Freedom of speech goes hand in hand with laws of civility. If you don't cause too much of a ruckus, you'll be fine. But if you keep pushing the issue and draw a line in the sand, you're risking temporary removal for the sake of free speech. Young people are often times the most vehement about taking freedom of speech to the nth, and get themselves kicked out of political arenas quite frequently./applause
They aren't removed to 'shut them up' or 'stifle their voice', they are removed because they are creating a potentially bad situation. And often times the goal is to be removed. Once you are, you can go to the media (web included) and make your voice heard even louder.
It's just part of the great cycle that's freedom of speech;)

Too bad it isn't like the good old days, when the police would have baton practise on this knucklehead's melon.
