So Sea of Red has every right to say that she should not have said what she said, and nothing about her right to her opinion stops him from saying that. However, it'd be a different matter if Sea of red wanted to kill her for saying that, or told other people to kill her for saying. Her right to her opinion would legally protect her from that, and the state can step in to enforce those protections.
Really, I think people like you mis-use that right to their opinion!!! as cop-out avoiding criticism of speech. Legal rights don't protect you from criticism of what you say, or do they protect you from people telling you to shut up (with some exceptions, like if your employer tells you to shut up).
