At the risk of repeating myself, with the right of free speech comes the responsibility of not being deliberately hateful and provocative. Free speech does not mean being able to say what you want, no matter how untrue, just because you can.

Your definition of a "free and open dialogue" appears to include you can say what you want, but others can't (see this thread vs the idiots who protested against the Royal Anglians) - strange, that.
