Not the way it is written in the First Amendment, not that our
government ever followed Free Speech in the manner it was written.

Is there some law against rudeness that I'm unaware of? And who is the
arbiter of what is rude? The Christian Right?

Who said you had to tolerate it? You have a block senders list, use it!
No one is forcing you to read anything you don't want to read. Take
matters into your own hands and block my post from your view!

LOL! I hardly ever give a blanket statement that someone is wrong
without explaining why I feel that why. To me the false civility of
saying "I disagree with you" without explaining why, is much more
reprehensible that telling someone that they are a moron and here is why
you are a moron!

I don't feel I "HAVE TO." I just say things as I see it. True to
myself, not to what you think is civil.
