Maybe I'm making my point poorly.

Allowing violent people to post online is fine. Allowing them to post violent content is bad. I don't care who the person is. I care what they post. As long as they're not advocating harm to a specific person or group of people it's fine.

I'm okay with people saying racist things from a free speech perspective (it's still despicable). I'm not okay with them saying people should go burn down the synagogue in downtown Seattle.

TBH, this point is poor. Violence and therefore promotion of violence are simply necessary in some situations. The former is even ingrained in the U.S. constitution.
