OK, I'll bite. How do you reconcile this principle with defending someone who
has tried to get people penalized for saying what they think? It seems to me
that there's a logical contradiction there: Jefsey gets to say whatever he
wants, but others can't?
I refer you to the most interesting:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.ltru/1033
especially where it says things like "Reuters, my employer, received the
following message today" and "'We will contact tomorrow the Reuters legal
department in Paris we will then copy and ask an acknowledgment from.'" (And
anyone who thinks that message to Reuters was not an attempt to create trouble
for someone with their employer is being deliberately obtuse.)

PS: The IETF is *not* here to provide free speech. It's here to write
protocols. Speech is subsidiary to that goal.
