You hate censorship and I like responsibility--it's good to have common ground.
But if we believe in "free speech" then some people are bound to muck up and "be irresponsible" in the sense of saying awful and offensive things, writing awful and offensive things, etc. If speech is free only when people use it to your personal standards and sense of morality, then it isn't free at all.
