It has been mooted here that Akenaton has the right to an opinion.

At the risk of having an opinion on an opinion, I can't argue with the logic, but the reality saddens me.

I have just thought of a compromise though.

If I find myself in a room with Akenaton, I will deploy my canny tactic. I stuff an old sock in his mouth and wrap gaffer tape around his head to hold it in.

You see, having the right to odious opinions is not the same as having the physical ability to spew them out.

And no gay dudes get upset by his diatribe.

Free speech? it is a privilege every bit as much as a right. Use it wisely.
