    What about the forums right to free speech by deciding what they want to publish? Not a single person owes you the right to say what you want. You only have the right (at time of writing) to not be prosecuted for what you say under most circumstances.

      Nobody owes you a platform to extend the reach of your speech. Of course he’s allowed to say what he wants.

      On top of that, freedom of speech has never meant freedom from consequences.

      Who said anything about rights? I am not free to speak about that shitstain person on that shitstain website? Is that not limiting the freedom of my speech?

            Freedom of speech is specifically a right.

            You being willfully ignorant doesn’t change anything, other than people’s opinions about you.

              I’m baffled as to why you’re being so inflammatory about me pointing out that we do NOT have the freedom to say what we wish on the gamingcirclejerk subreddit.

                Because you’re being dumb about it. Plain and simple. What your accusing them of doing isn’t a thing.

                  1. If you believe that a person being dumb is reason enough to belittle them or otherwise make them uncomfortable, then you’re part of the problem.

                  2. No one was talking about the US Constitution. We factually do not have the right to say what we want in that forum, thus limiting our freedom of speech. What part of that am I wrong about!

                    FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BEING OPPRESSED.

                    I dont know how else to communicate that to you for the sixth time and get you to understand it.

        No, you’re not free to say anything anywhere. Are you under any obligation to allow me to enter your home and say anything I want with no repercussion? Show me where it says you have freedom to say anything anywhere under any circumstance. I’ll wait.

        Also, if you don’t understand that “freedom of speech” is quite literally the definition of “right to free speech” you should stop typing and start reading.
