Val,
Freedom of speech includes both people. The one with the signature and the one who expressed concern about it.

We can't know the motives of the one who PM'd Ametrine; they may be as mean-spirited as you suggest, or they may be acting out of sincere kindness. How can we know? Why assume the worst?

I love your stand against bullying (we need more of that in the world!), but let's be slow to label without adequate proof. As much as I love freedom of speech, I abhor name-calling.

I don't think anyone on this thread is in the wrong. We are all just learning about different perspectives (me too!)
