Free speech also implies personal responsibility for what one says.  If one
wishes to use their "right" for free speech in an irresponsible, or even
highly vicious manner -- fine, but it does NOT say that the person attacked
has no right to defense, or legal recourse.  Freedom and responsibility are
tightly linked.

[P.S.  Do NOT respond to this in net.women -- discussions about free speech
probably SHOULD go in net.philosophy or net.politics]
