You're lying. You're not expressing a preference as to how civilized people should behave. You said:
"Response is always fine. If you don't like a joke, your exercise of free speech allows you to say so. But when you cry to the refs for a deplatforming of the comic, or pundit, you're beyond your free speech rights."
And I'm trying to figure out what exactly these "free speech rights" are that you claim have been exceeded -- do they come from the Constitution, from God? -- and why someone who claims to be so concerned about protecting free speech is sitting here lecturing us about what people should and should not be allowed to say. You may not like boycotts or calls for someone to be fired, but they are just as much "free speech" as anything else. I would express surprise that you are unable to grasp this, but I understand it is if hard to stay focused when you're trying to keep all those cocks in the air.
