If speech not accepted on campus, then where?

In the midst of the Article 112 controversy at Thammasat University, Bertrand Russell's pride in Cambridge is relevant.
He said that his Cambridge was one of the few places where one could talk unlimited nonsense and generalities without anyone pulling one up or confronting one with them if he says just the opposite the next day.
In the same vein, Voltaire's saying is appropriate - "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it". That is provided what you say is not in conflict with the current law.
