Have you ever noticed how people use the expression "free speech"
without thinking?

There is no such thing as "free speech". Nowhere. Period. You can't
call the police and tell them that your neighbour has killed your cat
when they didn't, you can't post spam to Usenet, you can't call your
co-workers "unprofessional arseholes", even if you really think that
it's true.

You are allowed to say what the community around you permits you to
say. This is as true of Usenet as it is of the real world. Anyone who
believes otherwise has some growing up to do.
