Al,
First, and I mean this sincerely, thank you for your service. Secondly there is no need to apologize because no one is trying to deny you your first amendment rights. It was simply requested that if you exercise that right, you should do so responsibly.

I am sorry that giving context to your post upset you, but intentionally misrepresenting fact upsets me. I chose to exercise the same rights afforded to me under the first amendment to convey that. I hope you can respect that.

Take Care.
