   No-one's being censored.  Anyone has absolute freedom to say hurtful   
   things.  Just as anyone has absolute freedom to point out that someone   
   who *really* felt affectionately towards the people they were ridiculing   
   would, when told that those things are hurtful, listen to this and stop   
   saying them.
