Democracy and the right to free speech

One of the things that sickened me yesterday was the attitude of the Worthington supporters.
You may not agree that people want him out, or that they will demonstrate against him, or they will chant for his head even as we win a game, but is there any need for the Pro-Worthy lobby to be so aggressive and insulting.
I lost count of the amount of Pro-Wothyists I saw yesterday telling the Outer's to F off, calling them all sorts of names and being generally hostile and agressive towards who people who are at the end of the day fellow City supporters.
I cannot remember any Worthy outers telling the Pro Worthyists to F off or using the sort of language reserved for the gutter, all demonstrations have been peaceful and in good humour, and the Pro's have had their chance to turn up at last weeks meeting and to put their case for Worthington to stay and vote on the subject.
Does this really show the Pro-Worthyists up for being totally ignorant and unable to listen to another side of a debate without resorting to threats and violence?
I read a post on here saturday morning in which a pro-worthyist said if he came across any anti-worthyist he would tell them to F off. How wonderful his life must be at the general election when he sees someone who wishes to vote for the opposing party to him.
In this country people have the right to free speech yet there are obviously those who wish to deny people that at a football match.
