Is it really free-speech if trolls and impertinent persons cannot express themselves freely via this communication medium ?

If free-speech by definition applies itself to humans, and if humans by definition are rational individuals capable of intelligent thoughts, are trolls worthy of free-speech?

Could you please define "impertinent"?

What else do you want to know?

I already knew the definition but wanted to see it in print as I don't think that's what lynn_402 had in mind, do you?
