Not anymore, he can’t.

Such a loss I almost forgot already.

The best part about forgetting he’s dead is remembering it again next time I open a web browser.

Maybe the problem is the internet. It used to be easy to say that speech should be free, no matter what. But the internet has given a bigger stage while distancing people from real life consequences, allowing them to do real harm to society.
Kirk is a great example. He could have preached his hatred alone on a corner in a small village, but he got a pulpit, he faced no real life consequences, and he caused harm increasing our divisiveness, pitting neighbor against neighbor, encouraging hatred, and that is before the effect on government services.
