Sure you did.

it would be helpful if terms such as “rights, freedoms, free expression, and freedom of the press” were more generally regarded as operative only in contexts of personal, social, and cultural responsibility.

Who's definition of personal, social, and cultural responsibility are we going to go by here? It's nice to make broad statements like these, but if you look under their veil of wisdom you see they don't make a whole lot of sense. My idea of what is and is not personally, socially, and culturally responsible is quite different from other people's. Which of us is right, and who has the right to decide that?
In order to carry out what you say would be helpful, we would have to empower some group with that decision making process. Once we do that, we are setting the stage for censorship.
