Comment remember free speech (Score 1) 257

It seems that many people here seem to think that the right to free speech
ends when the speech can in any way be interpreted as encouraging something
illegal. While I agree that it is sad that a sight like this exists,
i can't support it's closure. The sight made no direct threats. and
the creators didn't go out and kill themselves. they simply provided
information. if someone used that information to kill then they are at
fault not the information providers. otherwise we will have to begin
to ban phone-books, newspapers search engines etc... Would most been
so quick to demand the removal of the page if it was a pro medical
marijuana page. or a page promoting the exporting of strong encryption,
both of which are illegal. you can't just support free speech when it
agrees with your beliefs. if free speech is to mean anything then even
unpleasant speech must be allowed.
