About
Free speech trolling is a form of discussion trolling in which the principle of free speech is used as justification for suppressing someone else's speech.
The underlying argument can be roughly paraphrased as "I have a right to say that you should shut up. If you disagree, then you're against free speech – so shut up and stop censoring me!"
