It is a peaceful protest. Calling it vindictive is setting new levels of "snowflakiness".

You are right, freedom of expression can cut both ways. Largely, I believe that almost all speech should be afforded deference AS SPEECH. Boycott calls on the basis of respectful free expression is what any conservative used to despise. Too many folks on the extremes have basically become endlessly self-contradicting caricatures of what they purport to believe.
