Freedom of speech is the foundation of any free people. Freedom of speech is the manifestation of the freedom of thought, freedom of choice, and the underpinning of everything we hold dearly. Don't like what somene has to say and want to write a rule to stop them from saying it? Just remember, someone else doesn't like what you have to say either. The reason the second amendment is 2 is that it was written to ensure 1 was never infrindged.

Agree 100% as long as your free speech is accompanied by your real name.

Then why don't we be forced to make our email address public? Any one can contact me at any time...

Because there are numerous "marketing" bots out there that exist only to harvest publicly posted email addresses for the purpose of sending you "targeted" information and advertisements. I get enough junk email, junk snail mail, and junk phone calls without giving them any more access to my inbox than they already have.

Which brings up an interesting point - is there, or should there be, a difference between "individual" free speech (which is, I believe, what most of us are talking about) and "corporate" free speech or that in the name of "marketing" or "publicity" such as the spam many of us deal with daily?
