you lambaste me for not conferring yet more power to the broke, corrupt and inherently biased.

My only position in the whole thread has been to ask people to define the terms, conditions and limits of the power to limit speech. So far everyone asked has demurred. We all know the maxim about power, corruption and absolute power so why would I be foolish enough to cede something with no limits, i.e. absolute?

You keep citing the extreme example of one person following another at a place of employment while yelling racial epithets. Okay. I wouldn't bat an eyelash at that person being fired and I'd make note to not hire them myself. But, is the limits to free speech being suggested in the OP find their own limits only in such extremes? Is the standard objective or subjective? Is there a limit on the sanctions and who may impose them?

Those who want power must either ask for it or they must take it. I doubt the latter is much of an option so perhaps remembering the ol' "consent of the governed" thing would work better when discussing new policy.
