Free speech is, in fact, primarily the right to say what you want, not the right to stop others from saying what they want. I admitted that the latter form is sometimes important, but that imparts no requirement on the rest of us to always agree with it.

In particular: "you and your property" is a much more general concept here then it might normally be. If I lend out my printing press to people then I should be able to say what they print with it. If I sell printing presses at a fair market rate, ie I am satisfied with my side of the transaction, then I shouldn't turn around and impose terms on the use of that press. These two things are qualitatively different, even though they both involve limiting the use of printing presses that were at one point mine.
