>As is their First Amendment right. It's not clear that this is a protected first amendment right. You're not allowed to commit fraud just because the mode of fraud is one of communication. The words you speak may be protected, but not the outcome (fraud). Why would harassing people and ruining their lives be any more protected? >Sounds snowflakey Sure, if that helps with your butthurt. Call me names. You think people haven't been doing that my whole life? It's been 30 or 40 years since that hurt my feelings.

  Feel free to provide evidence that harassment is occuring, it sounds like people are stating how they'd like to be treated (clearly free speech), other people are disregarding it (again, free speech), and they're being told that's rude (still free speech). None of that is harassment. If someone sets expectations or boundaries at work, and you disregard them, sure, you could be fired. Working at a particular place is a privilege, not a right. Professionalism necessitates going along to get along with people who may be from different cultures or subcultures, who may have different expectations of how they should be treated, different political views or values, who you may find annoying or frustrating. That's life. > Sure, if that helps with your butthurt. I think you should take a step back and reflect on this remark. You are the one who came to this conversation with complaints.

  > It's not clear that this is a protected first amendment right Yes it is, actually This is how the marketplace of ideas actually works. You have bad ideas and say stupid shit, people stop listening to you, associating with you, doing business with you, enjoying your company, inviting you over, and so on. They'll sometimes even call you mean names! All of that is the marketplace in action.
