That a bad example given that the user in question wasn't anonymous.

Being truly anonymous on the 'net is harder than most people imagine.

In Western society using Tor and not leaking personal information should be sufficient for protecting that kind of speech.

I am not sure this is the case. Example.

Oh, and in this context what's special about a Western society?

Not an example of speech that happens within a forum.

We have a concepts such as guilty until proven innocent with makes it hard to sentence people based on statistical stylometry data.

The interest in censorship is also lower. It's much easier to simply ignore speech because Western society is more resilient.
