> I want free speech except I want people I don't like to not have it.

No, actually, koko very loosely defined actual free speech. In a nutshell free speech means that you can say whatever you please so long as you don't venture into what the American courts call "fighting words" (words/images designed to cause harm to another person or words/images that inspire others to cause harm to another person).

Example:

Let's say that I am prejudiced toward piglets (those damn curly tails!). I can express my extreme disdain for the swines to my heart's content. I can talk to people who share my bacon-related woes in the open.

However, I can't encourage people to go and harass or do harm to the hogs. I can't dox Babe and let everyone know the specific pen of residence: that would be encouraging others to harm, harass or make breakfast out of the pig.

*May not actually apply to pigs.

Yes you can actually. You just can't plan a specific crime at a specific place and time.

That isn't how "fighting words" is defined.

> ... and the insulting or "fighting words" those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. — Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 1942

Uh, yes it is. If you're going to take the time to tell me that I'm wrong, you might actually also take the time to correct me. Not only was your statement incorrect but it added absolutely nothing to the discussion.

Uh, no, fighting words means something that's immediate, as in you're literally right in front of them insulting them and they punch you in the nose.

It can't be done over the Internet.
