There's a distinction between 1st amendment free speech and, more colloquially, tolerance for free expression. The OOP was complaining about firings, so they are referring to the latter.
It's easy to understand people when you think for a minute and give them the benefit of doubt, I find.
That still doesn't make it a freedom of speech issue.
There absolutely is a distinction between "Freedom of speech" and "Tolerance of Speech". I agree.
I can make that distinction. Seems OOP, and most people, can't. You're doing everyone a huge disservice by attributing acts that has nothing to do with freedom of speech, to freedom of speech.
