This is just silly. No right is absolute. We accept many restrictions imposed by government on our freedom of expression. We can't shout "fire" for no reason in a crowded cinema. We can't say "I'm going to kill you" to our neighbours. We can't create or possess child pornography. We can't make sexist, racist, or homophobic jokes in the workplace (because governments require employers to provide harassment and discrimination-free workplaces). It seems perfectly reasonable to accept similar restrictions on a public forum intended for all Flames fans around the world.
