Does Tinker apply to off-campus speech? Some federal judges say yes, others say no. The Supreme Court ducked the issue in Bong-Hitz-4-Jesus. What does Flower say?

Listen, my only point was to point out that Sebastian made an untrue statement. He was wrong, and I was right, and I am still owed an apology in the aforementioned format. But really, these laws work great for private causes of action and that's it? There are tons of criminal laws pertaining to non-defamatory cyber-speech. Thurgreed mentioned cyber-stalking. You can make terroristic threats on Facebook. Extortion. All the federal crimes GGG was alluding to. Are you being intentionally dense about this? I expect provocative absolutisms from Sebastian, that's his schtick. But I'm beginning to think you're a little too invested in this issue. Do you have a kid who suffered at the hands of some anti-bullying zealot? But back to my original point, all of the laws mentioned above, and many others, prevent me from saying whatever I want to about someone else on Facebook, even if my speech is non-defamatory. So where's my fucking apology?
