A preacher has every right to proseletyze on a street corner. He does not have the right to force me to listen to his drivel. I have the right to walk on the other side of the street to avoid him. He does not have the right to run across the street and stand in front of me blocking my way so I'm forced to listen to him.

A politician has the right to campaign and try to convince voters to vote for them. They do not have the right to force me to listen to their ideas.

You have the right to post whatever you want. You do not have the right to force me to read your words.

A newspaper has the right to publish editorials. You do not have the right to force a newspaper to publish *your's*.

A man can say whatever he wants to me while I'm walking down the street. I have every much a right not to listen to what he says. He does not have the right to force me to listen to his speech.

Hopefully that explains my position a little better.
