Once I had a passenger wearing a t-shirt with very offensive writing on it.
I have never seen nor heard of a such situation. I noticed him about in the middle of boarding process and immediately called the ops and asked them to take him off the flight or force him to change. A second later the flight attendant came over and told me about the t-shirt and asked if we could do anything about it.
The ops had a delegation of five gate agents come and meet me in the jetway. The station manager said that there was nothing they could do, siting the freedom of speech, since the guy was behaving well.
All of those agents were trained as conflict resolution officers and they all said that the guidance from the company did not give them any "kicking off the flight authority" in such situation.
I informed my crew and we blasted off. The f/a told the guy to "cover himself" or he'll have a hard time getting any service from her and later in the airport, which he did.
My CP said the ops were right. Very said.

Freedom of Speech doesn't neccesarily cover obsenity. That's left up to the community in which it occurs. And since the captain heads up the "community" of that aiplane, I think he should get a say in the matter as would a mayor/city council.
Another thing I was thinking is that any time the guy asked for anything, the inflight should have just held up a mirror to him

I regret my decision to take him. I had 2 seconds to make the decision after the conversation with the CRO's and I said "fine" to make the on-time departure.
I wish I left him and made him miss his connection even though according to my CP in that case I would've been a "subject to a legal action".
He didn't get any service from our FA.

Wow.. that's pretty harsh.. You wanted to make some guy miss his connection because he had a shirt that said that?
People who wear shirts like that, shouldn't even be offensive to us, they should be laughed at.. Would the shirt offend me? Eh, I mean, I'd rather not see it, but really it would just show what a tool the guy is..
But wanting to make his life worse because he's too stupid to know what a moron he always is, isn't the solution...
Next time - tell the retard to turn it inside out..

Good luck!
