So what you're saying is that people like Stallman shouldn't have freedom of speech if you find what they say annoying. Of course, I find what you say annoying. Should I have the freedom to make *you* shut up?
People who go around claiming that people's right to say things to them = coercion really piss me off. If you don't like the voice of conscience suggesting you do something personally inconvenient because it's the right thing to do, don't listen. But don't displace your guilt feelings for ignoring them into some notion that their disturbing your complacency violates your freedom.
