Truman, the "inalienable right" to speak out does not include the "right" to slander others and do them damage.  I agree with Diane--you crossed the line.  You made comments about another sport and a rider of a horse in that sport without knowing the circumstances or the details.  Your remarks were derogatory.  With rights go responsibilities--and one of the responsibilities of free speech is that you do not infringe on the rights of others.

And that is perfectly within you right to do so and express that opinion.

We have the luxury of living in a society that where not only is the
ability to speak our opinions an inalienable right - it is a
responsibility. It is what makes our society work. Differences of
opinions mix to form a social consensus which form our moral and legal
values of what we find acceptable as a society. What is acceptable
changes over time as we hopefully become more "civilized."
