Neither person has to like it.
A person can lie, a person can correct that lie neither has to like it.

That's how freedom works.

If freedom is the goal a person has to be ready to hear things they don't like.

Freedom doesn't mean only what you freely think is going to go over well with other people.

Did that clear up my point? Sorry for the use of You, I didn't mean You personally just responding to the post.
