What's so wierd about that? Your statement isn't logical - for example, I
support freedom of religion, but probably wouldn't join a coven any time
soon, or invite one (or any type of overtly religious activity) to the
library. Same thing for freedom of speech/filtering products. I think it
really depends on the library/community, etc.
