Clarence -- for me at least, the primary problem with the anti-2 PR was that it was a fraud, in that it contained two fraudulent misattributions -- it identified its source as IDCC; and it identified Ross Richardson as a PR person for IDCC -- no 'Amerika' involved in my negative reaction to it -- I agree with you that the those behind the PR had the right to put out such a PR, as such, no matter how ill-considered or ill-advised I thought it was; what they had no right doing, under any guise, was fraudulently making it appear to be an IDCC PR, which of course caused it to get MUCH wider distribution, including via IDCC's own website and e-mail notification setup(!), than it would have had it been accurately identified as simply coming from certain (un-named, and never identified) IDCC shareholders -- just for the record . . .

and btw -- free speech includes the right of those who disagree with an opinion, any opinion, to state their disagreement -- your post utterly misses that fundamental point -- the right to free speech is NOT the right to speak free from response by those who disagree; and response by those who disagree is NOT a negation of the freedom of speech of the one who speaks first -- again, just for the record . . .
