If the freedom of Gentoo means allowing racists, xenophobes, misogynists |

etc. spew their hatred, in topics completely unrelated to |

Gentoo-the-Linux-distribution, then IMHO we couldn't get rid of it soon |

The right to free speech is not a free-for-all. Even the Universal |
12 |
Declaration of Human Rights, which by design is as general as possible, |
13 |
lists both freedom of opinion and expression (Article 19) AND the right |
14 |
not to be subjected to "attacks on his honour and reputation" and being |
15 |
legally protected from such attacks (Article 12). And there are |
16 |
countries which no-one in their sane mind would accuse of censoring free |
17 |
speech, in which hateful speech against groups of the population is a |
18 |
criminally punishable offence. |
