Not at all, I guess the way I've phrased it made you misunderstand it but when I wrote "It's by design and has always be in many European countries that you can say anything you want except what is prohibited.", I don't see how you can interpret this as "the EU is being unfairly restrictive of speech".

You're making a shortcut, maybe based on the fact that usually some people use this arguments to complain about EU.

> In my opinion, you are refusing to back it up because your statements were weak to begin with.

No, you're wrong from the beginning. I think it's an excellent thing that there are restrictions on public freedom of speech and what I wrote is merely a stating of facts.

You find my arguments weak because they only exist in your imagination.



You’re right, I read it more as an argument against that system. In retrospect as I re-read you indeed never made that argument, even if the same facts support those who do.
