Periodic reminder: Freedom of speech also includes the right to *hear* things that others might not agree with or want you to hear.

@KevinSimler What does it mean to have that right? Do others have a duty to to tell you heretical things?
@preinfarction I'm not particularly well-versed (or generally a fan) of "rights"-based discussions, but even so, "right" != "duty"

@preinfarction My comment was simply a reminder not to forget about all the listeners out there. They're an equal party to the "right."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
