I meant what I stated: that I have a right to be protected from speech that is harmful to me and the courts agree.
If I think that slander is harmful to me then I can sue you. If I think your hateful speech is harmful to me then I can sue you, as well. In both cases jurors will decide where the line between your freedom to say whatever you want and my freedom to not hear whatever I want should be distinguished.
