Technically, say what you want in the appropriate place and in the appropriate manner... Of course, this is overlaid with social constraints on what is appropriate

@Convivial Wrong! 1st amendment prevents those restrictions

@sladejr so you are saying it's ok to stand and yell FIRE in a crowded theatre?

That's interesting ...

@Convivial can you come up with a more tired cliche? 🤮

Yes it is if there's a fire 🔥 I would hope someone does.

If they don't they could be hit with a depraved indifference charge

@sladejr thank you.. So your first amendment reply does have limitations... Note I said originally the word "appropriate" twice to cover such situations... Might be an idea to go back and reread my original response

@Convivial you said social constraints not legal. Huge difference

@sladejr will you please actually read what I said rather than making things up?
