Judging an intent is an ancient unsolvable problem. Judging an effect is subjective (an act of violence is not subject to subjectivity –except by those ubermenschen who can see some sort of distant “greater good”). Free speech is an absolute. Yelling ‘fire’ in a theater isn’t free speech, as it violates civil (really, human) rights. so a ban would have to be for free speech BY being against (a form of) yelling ‘fire’ in a theater.
But then there’s the question of taste, which in turn raises the question of public vs private spaces. Is this a public space? If so, then banning on taste grounds is sorta effete-ish like, imho. If it is not a public space, then go get ‘em wretchard, at your whim or convenience, by yourself or your agents, and accept no criticism for it.
(hey thanks for that thought, LotM!)
