It's strange to assume that freedom of speech means freedom from criticism.

Where do I claim that it does?

> Why are you infringing on my freedom of speech right now?

> Why not just make your points and engage with its replies like everyone else does?

My reply was half made in jest but it's ironic they're crying about freedom of speech while telling me the correct way to discuss my ideas.

I was merely asking why you "discuss your ideas" in the way that you did, because it didn't seem to go over very well. You seem to have a point to make but never did so. You're indeed free to discuss things however you like, but everyone who sees through your "discussion" is also free to react negatively.

I read comments here because I sometimes learn new things or gain new perspectives, and I think that is the point of having a comment section, especially so on this website. I "told you the correct way to discuss your ideas" because I wanted to know what you actually thought, because your comments didn't convey that.

Also, when did I cry about freedom of speech? My only comment in this thread (before this one) was in response to your failed "gotcha" attempt.
