Note 1 Just comes across as a disclaimer in an attempt to disregard the obvious nuance of the situation and context in which the point you were making refers to.
No, exact the opposite actually. Note 1 I wrote to highlight that I follow social distancing/masks rules imposed on us; no problem for me there
FWIW I too would die for the right of the person to say, "I believe in Jesus not the vaccine", however I would not die for their alleged "right" to stand in a crowd of 3500 people not wearing masks or practicing social distancing.
Exactly my point too
I would also draw your attention to the fact you appear to have confused my criticism of the protestors with my criticism of the sign. I was not in any way saying the person did not have a right to hold their sign. I added that to highlight the studpidity of some of the protestors, and saying something is stupid is not the same as saying they don't have a right to say it.
No, not at all. My reply was
NOT about your opinion, I just shared my opinion on the article. You are the messenger of this article, and you just shared it on RF, which I appreciate, because the articles you share are usually the ones I am interested in.
I almost never criticize the opinion of others, there might be 3 exceptions: 1)They belittle others + 2)They belittle me + 3)They impose,
IMO, 'stupid' rules on me/others, like disrespectful/belittling rules (masks and soc.dist. are no problem for me ... I love them ... because I love seclusion)
As for Note 2, people objecting to "picture of Muhammad" have never been an issue with me. It is people who raise the prospect of blasphemy laws for drawing pictures of Muhammad that I have the problem with because such unwarranted laws cause all sorts of harm. But protesting without social distancing wearing no masks also causes harm. So no I don't see any hypocrisy here.
I know this. Note 2 is also
NOT directed at you, it is just my opinion on the article you shared, to highlight how easy hypocrisy enters the game
Hopefully as many of them get charged as possible with flouting lockdown rules.
In my opinion.
This is the only line in your OP where I see you gaving your opinion, and as you can see, I did
NOT quote that line (I left it out on purpose), hence my reply was
NOT about your opinion, but purely my opinion on the article you shared. I am not in the business of criticizing the opinion of others, my only business might be criticizing others when they criticize my/others opinions in a disrespectful way (as in violating RF Rules) and/or try to take my Freedom of Speech away or impose their view on me, or make a "general" claim that imposes their view on me
and with which I do not agree
