What's wrong/right with free speech

[Henry M]

Is it too much to ask that such people refrain from such 
unbelieveably juvenile and unpleasant language. I have received even 
worse mail sent directly to me. Especially ironic from someone asking 
others to refrain from messages that are "not relevant."

I'd filter certain individuals, as can anyone else, but I still have 
hope that reasonable discourse will prevail, even from, well, see 
epithet below.
