It's just that it's impossible to defend censoring anything. It's not
about free speech but the inviolability of speech. Now you invent a
necessity for ideas. Someone else will invent a need for artistic
content and in no time a fuckin Justice will reinvent a need for not
disagreeing with him.

I didn't "invent a necessity of ideas". It's fundamental to the very
concept of freedom of speech. You appear to have invented something
called the "inviolability of speech", which says that even when so-
called speech has no other content or purpose than to prevent others
from speaking, although we cannot defend such behaviour we have no
right to prevent it. That's what seems weird.

Almost but not quite. Who is to decide on the intended purpose being
"to prevent others from speaking"? Especially when there is nothing to
prevent anyone else from posting whatever they want? The spammers are
not canceling your right to post or read (or privately filter what you
can).
