No one did this, "Most chillingly, at least one poster suggested that a manager's desire to not upset one patron gives him the right to violate the legal rights of another patron." which is why we think you need to have your meds checked
I think you're writing about a comment of mine. But having a restaurant manager speak to a customer violates no ones rights.
The manager never asked her to stop, or to change tables, or threatened to kick her out of the restaurant.
When two people talk to each other, that's known as speech. Dialog. Negotiation. Speech is encouraged and protected in this country (America that is, though I am not sure what dictatorship you find yourself in.)
Discretion is the better part of valor.
The manager was offering the mother the opportunity to be valiant.
You can say the manager was a jerk and insensitive, but there was nothing chilling in my comment or in the manager's behavior. And when you overreach like that you do an injustice to the brave women and men that fought and gave their lives to make free speech possible.
Shame on you.
