University allows Milo to speak; he takes opportunity to bully a trans student in attendance, including projecting a early transition picture of her on screen and mocking her

Everybody deserves the right to speak their mind without fear of repression by the government.

Everybody has the right to call the speaker a fucking asshole if that is what they are.

Everybody has the right to eject someone from their space based on what they say. That's why we call it "their space".

A no-platform policy is not a violation of free-speech because a university union is not the government.

Different rules apply to the government versus private individuals and organisations because the government is supposed to be representative of "the people", rather than a private individual or organisation representative of a limited number of people.

Fascists are scum, and I should not be forced to quietly listen to their million-times-refuted ideas without speaking up myself. If I shout "fuck you" at a fascist when he says he wants me dead, I am expressing my free speech, not silencing his.

If I stove his head in with a rock, I have committed murder, and I will be put in prison. Many people think this is good/bad/whatever, but I have not violated his free speech because I am not the government.

Does that help at all?
