Yes, I know. "incitement", like drawing a blasphemous cartoon, or flying a racist flag, or, I don't know, getting up on stage at a rally for homophobic right wing fuckheads and going "i'm gay"
See where I'm going with this? You can't give a heckler's veto to everyone who might get mad about something, even if they might get REALLY mad, even if you think they have a good reason to get really mad, even if the person KNOWS they're going to make the other person really mad.
It doesn't work that way.
As for the rest of it - "facebook and other things are bad enough"- why? No one has to go on facebook by court order, do they? Seems to me someone who hates facebook needs to go to the extensive trouble of NOT typing "facebook.com" in their browser window. Onerous and in your face, indeed!
