I believe shouting people down is just another form of censorship, if that's what you're asking. I think the best way to combat a message you don't like is to present a better opposing message, not to prevent the other message from getting out, as it concedes the point that they have a better message than you can provide.

Pardon me... But doesn't the First Amendment only guarantee that government can’t limit free speech?

Correct, there is nothing technically illegal about shouting someone down in public forum.

That doesn't mean it's not rude, infantile, counterproductive, and in the spirit of censorship.

"Legal" is not that same as "right".

Agreed. But it's not denying them their right to free speach, either.

So, at some point, is anyone going to watch and discuss the movie, rather than endlessly debate the syntax of the original post?
