An outstanding post!

You cannot expect to have your own liberty respected if you are unwilling to respect the liberties of others. And sometimes, that calls for allowing others to do some pretty disgusting or even self-destructive things. But, as you say, if the rights of others are not violated, then there's no cause to interfere in that disgusting or self-destructive behavior.

What a person does to himself is his own business. I do not want others interfering in my life, therefore I will not interfere in theirs.

(I do have one small criticism of your post: Snuff films are an urban legend. There's no evidence that one has ever been made. This is a small point, however, since those who want to interfere in the free speech rights of others would be loath to argue the point.)

Great libertarian point of view, to which I agree.
