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.
