I'd argue you're still at liberty to do it - you just have to be willing to accept any social prices associated with it. Other people enjoy the same liberties that you do, they have every right to think and say whatever they will about you due to your speech.
Of course, this is really only a significant issue on a public forum, on which you can post pseudonymously and still gain any benefits of discussion without paying any significant toll. Some people view this as a negative and want to ban this kind of commenting - I love it, it means you can experiment with different views, make arguments you might not want to make in real life and see what sticks with you.
- halomru 9y ago>Id argue you're still at liberty to do it - you just have to be willing to accept any social prices associated with it. You can say that about almost anything. I'm at liberty to murder my neighbor, I just have to accept the price.
- problems 9y agoI'm talking in terms of moral rights - which not necessarily everyone will agree on - but there are some generally accepted ones. For example, murder would violate your neighbors right to life. Denying your neighbor the ability to speak out against your opinions violates their right to free speech. If you don't like it, argue back.
- abiox 9y agothis looks like equivocation. the quoted 'at liberty' seems to refer to something like not being restricted by the law of the land. saying 'at liberty to murder' seems to refer to something like bodily autonomy/physical capability.
