Not the fire in a crowded theater thing again! Take a look at Trope 2 here (written by an actual lawyer): https://www.popehat.com/2015/05/19/how-to-spot-and-critique-censorship-tropes-in-the-medias-coverage-of-free-speech-controversies/ https://www.popehat.com/2015/05/19/how-to-spot-and-critique-... It's a meaningless saying that doesn't actually have any real bearing on the law or the first amendment.

Perhaps bringing up that exact saying wasn't the best choice. My purpose was to illustrate that it is factually illegal to say certain things. Other examples besides claiming to be a doctor/lawyer while giving advice include: remarks that constitute credible threats to someone's life. By the way, and appropriate to this thread, I am not a lawyer.
