Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook

New submitter Marillion writes "Photographer Mark Byron was so bothered by his pending divorce and child visitation issues that he blasted his soon-to-be ex-wife on his personal Facebook page. That touched off a battle that resulted in a Hamilton County judge ordering Byron jailed for his Facebook rant — and to post on his page an apology to his wife and all of his Facebook friends, something free speech experts found troubling."

Re:The lesson here isn't about free speech

I wasn't going to respond to your original troll since it was at -1 and nobody would see it, but since someone else did (rather stupidly IMO) I must.

I am a Christian. I am also a liberal. Now, your statements about ME (you asshole):

Really Christian there.

You have to remember that if you are a liberal everything to do with religion is horribly bad.

Jesus was a liberal. "Liberal" means "generous," "conservative" means "stingy". "Conservative Christian" seems to me an oxymoron.

Mixing definitions liberal only proves that you are incapable of thinking or that you are doing on pourpose to prove a point that you can not prove in any other way. Liberal. In the way we both knew I meant was in the political sense.

Jesus was against everything conservatives are for. Taxes? "Render unto ceasar that which is ceasar's."

Conservatives are not against taxes. Never heard of a non anarchist that thought that we should pay zero taxes.

Feeding the poor? Conservatives are against it, Christians and liberals are for it.

Ever looked at the difference in percentage of income given to charities between liberals and conservatives?

Accumulating wealth? Jesus was against it. "It is as hard for a rich man to enter heaven as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." Then there's the story of the starving, ill Lazarus and the rich man. Guess which one went to hell?

So you are saying that liberals are against being wealthy? I think that you would find many liberals that would call you out on that. By all means though go on.

They do not believe in freedom of speech. Or freedom of religion. Speech is for ideas you agree with and religious freedom is the freedom to never have to see it in your peripheral vision.

Absolute bullshit. You're either ignorant or lying.

Are you saying that I am wrong about everything ever?

I don't know about him, but I am. You want to worship Satan or Rick Perry, that's fine with me, fool. You want to call me a fool? Go ahead, I'll laugh in your face.

Now go take your meds.

So the liberal left is not trying to strip religion from seals, courtrooms, crosses on mountains and every where else? You can choose to see it or not but calling me ignorant or a liar is a bit strong when we both can see the direction these things are taking.
I hate to dissect your post in such a way as to not allow much room for you to save some face. Next time put a little thought into your pissed off rant. use a little less name calling and try to be a little bit nicer. It will make you better and happier.
