Definitely not. Those instances almost always devolve into right-wing garbage and people spewing slurs for the sake of it. Anyways, the idea of free speech that people online, especially right-wingers and liberals, tend to argue for is sort of flawed and paradoxical. Here's a very good reading on the subject.

right-wing garbage

garbage

Didnt read it but you seem very biased

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago

Indeed I am. Everyone is biased to a degree, and to think that non-bias is possible is silly. Anyways, you should read the link I sent you. I promise you that it is very interesting, and keep in mind that it isn't anti-free speech. Rather, it is a critique of the common usage of free speech arguments.
