dialogue, not diatribe revisited

first, note that I have clarified my prev post on this subject.
second, there's obviously a lot of tension without our own society that causes good people to scuttle their careers as a result of the controversy their comments stirred up even among their peers.
(see related story on CBC)

We should all be free to speak our minds and explore the issues that dog us to achieve a state of greater understanding, and feel confident in so doing that we aren't risking our entire careers. Isn't that what democracy is all about? If not, how free really are we?
