Grammar is actually exceedingly important, as it denotes meaning. I'm not perfect myself in terms of grammar, but I do at least try to correct my mistakes, which most people on DF don't seem to be bothered with. At any rate, Prom never said anything that could reasonably be interpreted as making it alright to molest children, murder families, commit cannibalism, or burning houses down. Hence, your examples were inappropriate and facetious. When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
