You are advocating for censorship of speech you don't like, rather than choosing to ignore or counter it with your own. This is not China, the old USSR or even Europe. It's the United States where that right to speak freely isn't just enshrined in the Bill of Rights but is the FIRST of the ten. Yes, REALLY, I will always defend freedom of speech and if you don't like that freedom there are plenty of other places in the world where there is no such right and your delicate sensibilities won't be upset. Of course, you won't be able to speak freely, either.
