In defense of Jim:

To use an old saying once attributed to Voltaire - but most likely originating with Evelyn Beatrice Hall writing under the pseudonym of Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summation of Voltaire's beliefs on freedom of thought and expression.[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Voltaire ]

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

And then to make my own addendum to it, in Jim's defense:

"I am not however obliged to buy you a megaphone or lend you mine."©Wuli
