Would I be right in assuming that you are American? You certainly have
that religious view of free speech that is typical of Americans...
This has nothing to do with suppression of free speech, it has to do
with being responsible about what you say. I am not a legal expert and
I have no spoken to Derrick about his wishes, which is why I am being
very careful about what I say and do. All I am asking is that other
people in the same position show the same restraint.
