I am not sure what point of privilege you are choosing to accuse Ms. Southey of being a drunk  and having written this op/ed while drunk.  I don't believe there is one since you choose to hide behind a pseudonym.  It certainly isn't freedom of expression which, most of the unwashed settlers call "Free Speech".  Freedom of expression requires accountability and responsibility for one's words.  Using  a pseudonym to accuse a columnist of being a drunk and writing while drunk does not qualify as "Free Speech".  It is simply bullying.
