"If one doesn't like to have loud music playing in the hallway of one's apartment building at two am, one is engaging in censorship! "

Perhaps your problem is that you just don't understand what infringement on the rights of others means. Unless you assume that the other residents don't have a right to the quiet enjoyment of their homes.

"If one objects to hate speech on a radio program, and advises others of like persuasion to boycott the sponsor, one is engaging in
censorship."

This example assumes the person objecting has no right to free speech. Of course it would only be an infringement if the gov't were to pass a law outlawing the radio talk show.

Did you read the op-ed by Hentoff concerning the contract killer and his manual? No comments on that First Amendment controversy?
