I made no such connection between whining and free speech."...I agree with most of what you said but why is it being 'whiny"'when someone else does it but 'free speech' when someone you agree with does it?"
Each of us is completely free to speak in such a way as to be construed as a whiney biotch by some of their listening audience...
You're on the right track, but you've gotta use a better grade of 'bait' than that...![]()

I made the connection for you...
Yes. That much is patently obvious. Not that it holds one whit more validity for doing so.
"...since you have said this before on other threads to my recollection..."
Golly-gosh gee-willickers and goodness-gracious, Emmy Lou, but did I call somebody a whiney little biotch someplace else?
Where are my manners?
Puh-leeze.

"...They are one and the same. Someone voices their opinion and if you agree its free speech. If you dont agree then its construed as 'whiny'..."
You are welcome to go and hunt-down such examples, if that amuses you. I don't recall making representations to the effect: "If you don't agree with me, then you're a whiney little biotch"... even on a metaphorical level...
Although I, like 'most everyone else on the planet, have, from time to time, called a person, or a side, a 'whiney biotch' when I thought it was appropriate... and I, like you, reserve to myself the right to make that call, whenever-the-hell I like, yes?
"...Just like those that criticize the POTUS are whiny lil biotches..."
I have no dog in the Obumble fight... I voted for the guy twice myself, although I held my nose going into the voting booth, both times.
"...See what I mean? Why is an opinion less valid if you dont agree with it?"
Only vaguely.
You DO understand that lightweight sarcasm and dramatics are part-and-parcel of most exchanges within this sort of medium, do you not?
Even by folks who manage to serve-up substantive contributions, as well as sarcastic humorous or fun-poking supporting verbiage, yes?
I've never claimed to be Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms or Pollyanna.
Merely one of hundreds of contributing members, who operates within the mainstream, with respect to ethics, behaviors and manifestations in the heat of argument or passion.
Hope that helps.
Now, stop dry-humping my pants-leg, eh?
