There are one or two people here who are demanding that a man`s Constitutional Rights be denied to him while they should be completely free to exercise their`s .

To me this is a critical issue / subject which deserves airing in a public forum such as this .

I submit that this " space " is equivalent to the " Town Meeting " once or perhaps still practiced in the State of Vermont where everyone from the Town was free to attend and say whatever it might be is on their mind with respect to their community .

Recall the famous Norman Rockwell illustrations of " The Four Freedoms " one of which depicted the lone man standing before his fellow citizens and speaking his mind as was his Right to Free Speech .
To me this site is a virtual ongoing " Town Meeting " and if the Rights of one to speak their mind is to be eliminated or abridged then the Rights of all should be as well and this " Town Meeting " should be shut down . And if it were to be closed down it would be a tragic blow to personal freedom .
