There's a difference between being able to express your opinion and having people disagree with your opinion; the latter does not negate the former. Neither have anything to do with your first amendment rights unless a governmental entity is involved.

OK, I just opened up LJ, and this is the first thing I saw.

Do I need to keep my eyes open for something, or is this on a different topic?

[esprix]

Somewhat SCA personalities related, but a completely different one, I assure you. :) It also applies to a lot of people I know online anyway who cry, "You disagree with me, so therefore you must be trampling my first amendment rights to free speech!" So many things wrong with that argument...

[liamstliam]

OK, I didn't know if it related directly to the discussion we have been having.

A certain PolarBear spouting off again?

LOL, no, not recently. :)

am i involved in this?

[esprix]

When have you ever cried foul? You've gone out of your way to point out to others in your LJ that you want a free exchange of ideas.

The others, however, are some of the ones I'm referencing here. CRY MOAR.

[akirashima]

i would ask which ones but honestly i think everyone in that conversation has kinda gone CRY MOAR. which is sad.
