Letter to the editor: Allowing everyone to voice personal views can have the effect of inhibiting some from voicing their concerns. Thus, allowing unrestricted free speech really inhibits free speech. Which one of the following, if true, does most to justify the apparently contradictory conclusion above? ['When free speech is unrestricted, people offended by the views of others are likely to voice their disagreement, leading toward a resolution of conflict.', 'Since unrestricted free speech can be offensive, free speech should be restricted when the pain that it causes is great.', "Claiming that unrestricted free speech inhibits free speech is like claiming that increasing someone's salary makes the person poorer.", 'When free speech is unrestricted, many people will be shocked by the power of the views of others and thereby become afraid to voice their own concerns.']
