This is becoming a question of whether or not people should ip address be protected from the consequences of free speech. Communication is full of often unwritten rules of conduct and behavior. These rules are prescriptive and always allow for ip address the freedom of choice, meaning that you don’t have to follow them, but you should be prepared to ip address accept the consequences if you engage in antisocial (mean) behavior. Often, the consequences of violating rules of “good” communication mean that you can be “punished” by individuals, institutions, and/or society. Interpersonally, this can mean lost friendships. Institutionally, this can translate to being fired. Societally, this can mean being made a pariah.
