Free speech even for spammers?

This thread title reminds me of the first short story that I had published, "I found God in Cyperspace." It was in the final Wingspan Quarterly magazine and may still be available. Although fiction, it argued that when a forum becomes interactive, free speech is applicable within standards (profanity, etc.). The argument against free speech was property interests. I think that I won the argument, such as saying that a particular book on an author's site sucked was free speech, which rises above property interests (the server, etc.), but it is not likely to be decided officially for years and years.
