"You either support freedom, free speech, and human rights or you don't; there is no freedom and human rights light. "

You either are totalitarian in your ideology, or you have no ideology. Or something like this?

I am very pro free speech, much more than the average. But even I think there are limitations. It is not all black and white. Example?

"I think person X is doing not so smart things"

"I think person X is an idiot"

"I think person X is an idiot and needs to die"

"I think person X is and idiot and we need to kill him"

Where is the clear line from free speech to insult and then to inciting violence for example?
