There was nothing really to debate

About the substance of highlanders view because I think not a single person on here supported it.

So the much more interesting point concerned free speech and the nature of the debate - is he entitled to hold that view, or express it, should any expression of that view itself be a crime and so on. I happen to think there's an increasing and quite serious problem with restriction of free speech, so it was in that regard that I posted. That's not to say anything like 'I'm more worried by the use of swear words than homophobia'.
