No we're supposed to have the rights, but for goodness sake have the
decency not use them.

I didn't hear that said. I certainly didn't say it.

Those you refer to as "we" -- I don't in fact know whether you personally are included in the group -- certainly have their right. And can and should use it.

a) preferably using it responsibly, but there's no law requiring that.

b) however, being accountable for the use of the right, and not complaing when someone else uses their rights to object to the way you use the right.

That to me is more the issue -- people on ANY side who want to use their free speech rights to criticize others but don't want others to use their free speech rights to criticize back.

Or do you believe that free speech rights should be one way streets only?
