I am not a huge supporter of censorship as well. However, think of it this way- you're not allowed to say many things on social media. For instance, you can't go on Twitter and tell everyone you're going to kill the president. On the other hand, you're allowed to express your dislike for the president. Limits are needed to prevent people from abusing freedom of speech. Just because we have such a right, doesn't mean:

 

a)They're allowed to say anything

b) Be exempt from criticism

That's definitely true...freedom of speech doesn't imply freedom to be a jerk. 

However, realistically, the line between opinion and flaming tends to be a bit more thin with these type of threads...which is another reason they annoy the hell out of me.
