Yes, if people want to discuss fire in a crowded movie theatre they are free to do that.
That doesn't mean they can jump out of their seat, scream "fire", and urge everyone to evacuate the theatre. I could see consequences for doing that, but calmly asking "does anyone smell smoke?" seems harmless.
- steeve 4y agoSo you _do_ draw a line.
- evandale 4y agoYes and that line is drawn at an action, not a word. People can talk about whatever they want and there isn't a line I would draw anywhere that said "you can't talk about that". People can _talk_ about whatever they want.
- steeve 4y agoYou're playing with words. Let's go there. Perhaps I'm discussing the fire loud enough for people to hear. How do you differentiate between "word" and "action"?
