A Gentle Reminder for Tumultuous Digital Times

Freedom of speech means:

• you get to say whatever you want.
• everyone else does too.
  

Freedom of speech does NOT mean:

• that anyone is obligated to provide you a forum in which to speak.
  
• that no one's allowed to call you an jackhole for what you just said.
  

Thank you for your attention to this rant that doesn't apply to you, because you are a lovely and sensible person. Unlike some folks on the internet. Snarl. Ahem. Forget I said that.
