gollark: Civil is polite and *formal* now?
gollark: I don't know exactly what you're redacting, but it sounds like you're redefining "civil" wrong.
gollark: Free speech *the principle* is at the extreme end something like "you can say anything ever", which doesn't really work, so mostly I think we should have something like "you can say anything legal, civil, and non-horribly-infohazardous".
gollark: Free speech *the law* as it generally gets implemented is something like "the government can't restrict you from saying most things".
gollark: I think you're undergeneralizing the concept.
