I am for free speech in forms, even the kind I don't agree with. However, my free speech includes entertaining fictions publicly about someone who has little consideration for the impact of his free speech and has no sense of what is reasonable. That is especially so for attention whores who want to exploit the eye of corporate media no matter what happens because they are greedy freaks who are otherwise nobodies and not particularly useful.
