When I first read Mr. Biles' response, I interpreted it as an attempt to
silence me -- to make me shut up and go away.  While I have no objection to
people arguing with what I say, I strongly object to their attacking my
right to say it.  However, looking back at his words, I believe I inferred
things that were not implied.

I didn't mean to say you had no right to speak.  I was expressing my
displeasure at the way you were speaking.

New CS Lewis Quote :)
"This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn.  We must play.
but our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest
kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each
other seriously--no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.  And out
charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in
spite of which we love the sinner--no mere tolerance or indulgence which
parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment."
