An angle that has occurred to me that cuts this argument down to nothing: does a right to free speech not imply a right to *listen*? Not a right to an audience, but a right to *be* an audience?

IOW: when people say "there's no right to an audience" they pretend they mean "you can't force us to listen to you," but they often mean instead "we won't let the people who want to listen to you, do so."

& a related issue: need there be a right to choose your audience? I tend to think yes; freedom of association has to go hand in hand with freedom of dissociation. Its silly to complain that you weren't allowed to disrupt an event not intended for you.

The answer always seems to be "кто кого?" You don't have a right to an audience, but people must hear me.
