That's indeed approximately what I said to my friend Steve, albeit quite
a bit more politely than you're paraphrasing it.

But the point is that this is very much _not_ what you were claiming a
few minutes ago. Your assertion I'd claimed my friend Steve has no
right to a point of view is so blatantly false that I'm left wondering
why you so averred.

As you'll note, I feel free to disregard requests I see as
inappropriate. I'm sure Steve, being a bright fellow, does too.
