My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk

Can you argument this point further or is it enough to imagine it with a trollface meme?
Me personally, I argue that it was an exaggerated policy position to take. Under no circumstances should menacing, harassment, threats to personal safety be tolerated.
It’s definitely a good thing that Musk backtracked on this, as the previous policy would have been used to cover some outrageous behavior, such as invading the personal space of LGBTQ accounts, outing them at work, or even menacingly posting selfies in their neighborhood.
There are limits to speech, free speech is meant within the context of public sphere debate and politics.
This tit-for-tat confrontation has to be suppresses, or the verbal rioting that is online trolling will again spillover into IRL.
