This is why I generally do not suport campaigns to shut down some sort of expression; only a special aspect of the situation that would make that legitimate. For instance, I do support campaigns calling on companies not to advertise in a right-wing show, or people to boycott it.

If it were forbidden to say things you or I find disgusting, saying things that the bully finds disgusting will be even more forbidden.
