>>The right to speak my mind is my right.

Like Voltaire, I may not agree with what you say, but I defend your right to say it- but freedom of speech does not mean you can behave as you please wherever you please. I would not support you if you went to a funeral and said the dead man was a loser whose panties were permanently in a twist. I would not support you if you insisted on your right to burst into the ladies' washroom to give a speech. I would not support you if you came to this forum and asserted that JVP has more VFP knowledge in his big toe than most here. I would call that crude provocation and would perceive any attempt to hide it behind a "freedom of speech" canard, as intellectually corrupt.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
