xkcd 1357: Free Speech

This one's old, but I still find it relevant.

Public Service Announcement:<br>The right to free speech means the government can't arrest you for what you say.<br>It doesn't mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit,<br>or host you while you share it.<br>The 1st amendment doesn't shield you from criticism or consequences.<br>If you're yelled at, boycotted, have your show cancelled, or get banned from an internet community, your free speech rights aren't being violated.<br>It's just that the people listening think you're an asshole,<br>and they're showing you the door.

xkcd alt-text: I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.
