A free-speech issue

I disagree with the writer in Monday's letters column who felt the Daily Herald practices lousy journalism by allowing "...anybody to say any cockamamie thing they want..." No, I would say that's free speech. It's not up to the Daily Herald to censor what the readers say, or what the writer doesn't like. Let the cockamamie things flow, and let the readers discern right from wrong, fact from fiction.
