Thanks Yaman, your journal entries on this matter are very thoughtful indeed. I tend to be uncompromising on the freedom of expression myself: it is indeed the basic pillar of our modern subsistence. The freedom of "discretion" is also good of course, but it is just that - a "freedom" entailing a choice to be made as to whether one should or should not censor oneself. There should be no penalties involved here (positive inducements, on the other hand, are another consideration), so long as no direct and real harm is incurred to others as a result of exercising this freedom. There is no such a thing as the freedom not to have your feelings hurt.
