    You have freedom of speech, don’t worry. You can walk into work today and tell your boss to go fuck himself. It’s completely legal, nobody can stop you. Your boss will definitely fire you on the spot though, and if you show back up on Monday they’ll call the police on you for trespassing. That’s also completely legal.

    Just because it’s legal to say something doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want to whoever you want without consequences. If you want to routinely insult people to their faces, you are allowed to, but don’t expect to have many friends or be welcome many places. If there’s a code of conduct, and you willfully violate it, expect to get kicked out of plenty of things.

    And if you decide to motivate people to kill themselves, expect serious consequences.

    Also, beating someone up is assault, not free speech, this is me humoring you here.

      Good job taking the high road, I appreciate you taking the time to write out a serious response to him. I’m sick and tired of meeting violent, bigoted rhetoric with fair responses they will refuse to engage.

      I’ve degraded to letting them hear the violence redirected back to them. It feels like they at least hear what I’m saying this way.
