"but all of them are true expressions of people as they are"

I don't think you can say that. Humans are fundamentally social creatures with behaviours that are also context driven. So to characterize the dialog on 4chan as free expression is simply inaccurate. This is just a facet of behaviour in the same way that people behave in mobs or in war-time - to cite some more extreme examples.

Think of 4chan as a healthy antidote to excessive political-correctness and other wanton busybodyness.
