"Again: If the First Amendment or privacy rights apply to a given situation, it applies whether I agree with the speaker or whether the speaker lied to me or others about his motivation."

This is an interesting question, and I've enjoyed eavesdropping the conversation.

The question in my mind is WHO is responsible for protecting 1st Amendment speech. In a private discussion board, should the owner/moderator have that responsibility? Or does the 1st only apply to governmental protection? Do we, as individuals, have the responsibility to protect offensive speech?
