"Pls see # 21. I hold that the freedom not to listen trumps the freedom of speech ["Your freedom to wag your tongue ends where my ears begin"]. Therefore to speak [handing out printed materials included] to me in most situations one first ought to get my permission."

Was your contribution to this thread forced upon us, or maybe mine was forced upon you?
As I stated previously it is a freedom of speech issue; you just find offense in the content.
This thread was not locked, and invitation [aka permission] to the participants is implied by its very structure.
