Oh God. A publisher didn't like his work of fiction and perhaps acted unprofessionally and he cries about free speech and concentration camps, all in the same long winded paragraph. Cry me a river.
Free speech protects you from censorship from the government, not from a private company that doesn't like your book and so chooses not to invest their money and time in publishing it. Free speech does not mean other people have to listen to you, take you seriously, or do what you want them to.
Free speech means you can throw your little tantrum in public and the government cannot tell you to shut the fuck up. Rightly so, that is left to society in general to do.
