"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear"

I personally believe that a community that support free speech is going to be healthier on the long run than one that doesn't.

exploding-heads seem to have rules against not being authentic, trolling and slurs

It doesn't mean people have to listen to what you're telling them, and it certainly doesn't mean that if someone doesn't want to hear it you have a duty to say it. Cowards afraid of personal responsibility use this argument.

If any rules at all, particularly ones about no trolling or slurs, bother you than you don't want freedom of speech at all. You want freedom from consequences for your speech. Grow up.
