.S. Why is it wrong for me to express my opinion if I consider a thread (or a person) "tedious"? If everyone else can express their opinion here, why can't I?

I think I see what the problem is. You are not differentiating between the freedoms allocated to Joe's List Mom hat and those allocated to his Member hat. There is no reasdon as a Member he cannot have all the freedoms allocated to any other member. When he changes hats and wears the List Mom identity, he is much more sharply constrained as to what opinions he may act on. It may all look like the same person to you, but it is not, or at least it is a sharply divided way of being.
