While I agree with what you said, I'm being VERY careful to ensure that
whatever we end up with is not about one's ideas (no matter how dumb I
might think they are) and is *just* about legality.

 I'm actually not wanting anything regarding discrimination, etc, as

 I am *solely* talking about *illegal* things here, with a focus on
 incitement to violence.
