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. Charles K. Summers {ihnp4|allegra}!druca!summers [P.S. Do NOT respond to this in net.women -- discussions about free speech probably SHOULD go in net.philosophy or net.politics]
