You're misunderstanding the "it's not nice" part. For example, it's not against the law to be (somewhat) rude, either - but it's not nice. As I pointed out, the whole attribution thing is something that needs to be addressed on a social level, not enforced by law.

And in general, I don't think it's an unreasonable world-view to dislike something, but be against regulating it. For example, I'm vehemently against right-wing ideology and fascism, but I still would not want laws restricting nazis to voice their misguided opinions, because everybody is entitled to free speech. That's not being unreasonable, that's being consistent.
