This is a normal post Don't be silly
It's fine if there is a fire and spouting the words of a very silly man doesn't make you intelligent.

This is a normal post Excellent reply
Well done that man. Instead of coming out with stupid platitudes why don't you explain to me why freedom of speech is not important. Civil liberties, in this country, are under great threat. I find this very worrying - they are easy to lose but much harder to re-gain. Perhaps you could reassure me that I have nothing to worry about.

This is a normal post I should really expand on that
When people decide that they are right, in the face of all evidence, they are known as 'liars'.

As a very sensible person once said, 'everyone is entitled to their own opinions, not their own facts.

I did not encourage violence towards these idiots, but encouraging violence towards others is their entire life.

This is a normal post This does not explain
why you believe they do not have a right to express their view. I might add that they are very careful not to go beyond what the law allows in terms of incitement (and are quick to sue if anyone attacks them physically). I find their views very unpleasant but they are entitled to express them. That is my point.

This is a normal post and.....
you obviously consider the nazi party in 1933 had a right to spout their 'opinions' of hate.

Good luck to you sir, you will need it.

This is a normal post Now you really are being silly
They went way beyond expressing an opinion. Is it really so difficult to understand the difference between an opinion expressed verbally and an act of violence? You seem intent on confusing the two. Please try to understand that my belief that people have a right to their opinions does not mean that I agree with those opinions.

Edit: I'm knackered so I'm off to bed. It's been fun.

He just spouted his opinions, that made stupid, evil people do so.

You will never understand free speech until you grow up

This is a normal post I don't know why I'm bothering.
Telling someone to "grow up" when you have no reasonable answer is an ad hominem attack (look it up). It makes you feel better but it doesn't further the discussion.

I may have to invoke Godwin's law at this point.
