And this is a bad thing for the culture of our public discourse. Now before anyone makes the mistake of misunderstanding this, I am not attacking freedom of speech, I am criticizing people who draw up claims of free speech, where it is irrelevant to the matters at hand, and use such claims as a way of trying to deflect criticism.

Human relationships are so heavily complex due to fact that there are hostile and compassionate aspects to them. Also, these complex relationships make it possible to be physically close to someone without being emotionally connected to them. This is shown in the excerpt from The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy through the characters Mayor Henchard and his daughter Elizabeth-Jane.
