It’s amazing how many people don’t know that. I’m not even American and I know that from a high school American history course.

The Picard Paradox

An interesting technique for some kinds of literary analysis that has become a lazy shorthand for “I don’t like the implications of the story I’m reading/watching, so fuck the author. My version is better.”
And you can respond to their rudeness by not buying their products.
My guess is that with the Dev's having to start including stuff from DISCOVERY Season-3 and PICARD, that will probably change again.
Also private individuals.
And of course, messageboards like this one, which are ALSO private entities, not public ones.
Yes, but they are not violating your rights by being rude. But, absolutely, a consumer cannot buy the product. That's the nature of the free market.
The Constitution is not well understood in America. There is a lot of myths that run around about it, and Free Speech is probably the top of the list, and not just because it is the First Amendment.
That, or the Federation's attempts to hold peace talks with enemies like the Klingons. Even in the Prime Timeline while the Klingons went largely into isolation between the end of ENT and 2256 as explained in "The Vulcan Hello(DSC)" there were still occasional border raids and attacks and there must have been some effort to sit down and break bread with the Empire to put a stop to all of the pointless border violence. Edison could have been referring to several different species that United Earth and/or the Federation were at first enemies of but later tried to reach peace treaties with.
Yeah, the 2nd gets abused a whole bunch also.
Wasn't one of them in the Enterprise D hanger bay?
Also private individuals.
And of course, messageboards like this one, which are ALSO private entities, not public ones.
One time, when I was a moderator, I gave someone a warning, and then they acted like I was encroaching on their rights, and went on and on and on about how issuing warnings didn't give me true power over people. To that I responded with, "You're right, I don't have power over anyone, but I can do the job I'm supposed to do here."

Except in this case, CBS has not been “rude” to said TrekBBS member. Said TrekBBS member feels slighted because CBS isn’t producing the exact show he wants, and therefore has concluded that CBS actually owes him personally even though CBS never agreed to produce their show exclusively for him.
