Personally, I'm for selective censorship. Believing that full, unregulated free speech is compatible in our society is rather naive, in my opinion.
Oh really? And who is to decide what speech is "acceptable" or not? You? The thought police?? What about free speech makes it "incompatible" with "our" society (by "our" I assume you mean those people NOT being forcibly censored)?

"Im all for the government using coercive means to suppress speech that I dont like or agree with. Anyone who thinks otherwise is NAIVE."

*shudder*
