    You’re definitely pushing the semantics on what constitutes free speech, I’ll give you that much.

      More so conflating the fundamental capacity of decision making versus the spirit of the law protecting free speech.

        You are correct, I’m just tired of explaining to some people that speech that gets you fined, arrested, thrown in prison, legally liable for damages due to fraud or defamation, etc isn’t really protected free speech and transcends the mere social punishment of people not liking or wanting to do business with you.
