I spent ten years in the military, and as a consequence of that, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, on several occasions. And somewhere around the second or third oath-swearing, it occurred to me that maybe I ought to read the damn thing. So I did.
Ergo, I can tell you this: nowhere in the Constitution does it guarantee the freedom to not be told that you are an epic dickbag, simply because you have chosen to exercise your freedom of speech to BE an epic dickbag. And while I will defend to the death your right to BE an epic dickbag, I may also point out that, y'know, I've found that life is really much nicer when you're NOT an epic dickbag. And definitely consider, as Mary Robinette Kowal points out, shutting the fuck up.
