As a libertarian, I love the saying, "your rights end where mine begin." You can say whatever you like, up until the point where it starts violating my rights. Harassment violates my rights, and if you harass me with your speech, regardless of the actual content, you should be silenced on that platform.

The way I see it, harassment has two parts to it:

  • damages
  • intent

If I offend on accident, I should have the opportunity to make it right. If I offend on purpose, I should be banned.
