It would still not be lynching, no. For example, I would be alive. What use is free speech if I only grant it to people who agree with me?

  It is not literal lynching (as in throwing stones at a person), but I am not the first to use the word in that manner. Substitute lynching for character assassination, if you will.

  There is a difference between free speech and character assassination, even in the US.
