I have not at any point infringed upon her right to say anything.
However, that does not at all keep me from pointing out that she is a horrible person for holding the opinion that she does. Disagreement with a statement or even disagreement with making a statement is not "censorship". Free speech is not some first-come-first-served right where the first one to claim it gets to say whatever they want and everyone else has to just silently respect that.
A difference in opinion does not justify the hatred of the person them self (though that's most definitely subjective), particularly if you don't actually KNOW them.
So you can hate the statement "Kill all the niggers" but the Klansman saying it is probably a pretty decent guy and you shouldn't judge 'im, eh? At least not without sitting down to coffee and hearing his life's story.
Listen, the real world is not some convenient batch of feel-good self-help book statements that you can trot out whenever they're convenient and someone says something that offends your idealistic sensibilities. If you want to whine over me not hating the sin but loving the sinner, I personally could not care less.
Now I want you to think before you hit reply. Are you actually going to be saying anything that's not going to make you a massive hypocrite? After all, you're essentially condemning me for saying something that offended you in response to my replying to something that offended me, and saying I should not condemn people for saying things I find offensive.
See where this is going yet?
Oh, by the way:
this could easily be spoken by a hyper-conservative person in regards to how homosexuality offends them...
I do not give a fuck. Just because I want people to have equal rights does not mean that I think we all need to live in a land of hugs and kissies where we spend each day giving each other's every thought validation. I am not going to be, by your own definition, censored just because "Oh noes, that's something a mean ol' conservative would say!"
