Believing free expression is a right means tolerating a lot of stuff that you and I think is disgusting.

Oscar Wilde said: “I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an ass of yourself.” We believe that, and we’d rather see these battles settled through open debate than through censorship.
