Freedom of Speech (fan, members, irish, show, quote)

I'm asking this question generally, but also as it pertains to the boards because ultimately, your opinion on the matter should be your opinion on how we moderate.

Question: Should any speech be censored?

Is there more liberty in allowing speech to run rampant or are there certain things too vicious to allow?

Is freedom of speech abused or does abusing it discredit your opinion and lead to less people entertaining you?

Should we shun or regulate? I'm standing back from this one for the first page, but I'd like to hear your opinions. I'm sure we'll agree that a large swath of speech is fine, but I'm asking about that 3% peripheral that’s always controversial.
