I really like Mav's analogy - and please note that the dress code he speaks of wasn't about collars, it was about "expressing controversial opinions".
Yes, you're right.
I wouldn't be too unhappy for a volunteer organisation to prohibit wearing t-shirts with offensive messages (when representing the organisation in public). 'Controversial opinions' goes further than I'm comfortable with, though.
I also think that such a rule would lead us into feeding the trolls still further. Though I suppose wherever we draw the line, some troll will find a username which is nicely on top of it.
