But I. believe you said they shouldn't be allowed to spread their unwanted speech. That's one side of it, to stop them from speaking.
The other side is to let them speak so you know what they are up to. It's not always the same rehashed trash. They keep digging deeper and deeper. That's why the DoJ is not going to defend the MoCs who spoke at the Jan 6 storming of the Capitol. You can still disrupt while they are speaking if only to rattle their cage and put the on the defensive.
Given the left's inability to mount a real attack the only alternative is to let the fascists bury themselves with their own words.
There is no "third way" if that's what you're driving at. Either you stop them from speaking completely or you let them spew waiting for that "yelling fire in a theater" moment and then pounce.
I never said that they shouldn't be allowed to spread their speech, just that we can have creative ways of countering it. If that means holding up signs that say Traitors and Rapists, sit down, then so be it. BTW, I didn't see that in your list of extensive options... :) They may speak in front of those signs, they may run and cower. Either way, the world has already heard their tired tirade and no one is in the dark as to 'what's going on'.
Signs are a given and preferred but a little noise is always an option just don't go overboard or it will be returned in kind and we have no recourse.
Again, it's not what they've said in the past, it's what they are going to say next. If they don't escalate they lose attention and airtime. Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves eventually.
I do not live in a binary world. I seek always more options.
