As I said in the OP, I made this thread because in the last year or so I've seen several users express that they felt they couldn't speak freely here (several of whom have now posted here, so I'll let them speak for themselves) and I thought that was worth raising as an issue given the low number of active users left.

You just made a statement about your stance. You said, "My point in making this thread was that political/controversial speech should be less restricted, not more."

So, if that is your stance, what is an example of this political/controversial speech that we need more of? 

I didn't say we needed more controversial speech as such, just that in the last year I've had like 4 users here express to me that they feel like any opinion that's not strictly politically correct or left-leaning gets punished. I didn't think that was a good sign for the forum that I kept hearing this repeatedly.
