So someone writing their opinion on their personal blog is equivalent to some authority making a ruling about what you're allowed to?

Freedom of speech has always come with other people being free to tell you that you're wrong and should stop. There is nothing wrong in it, and no freedom of speech is harmed as long as the person stating their position is not in a position to enforce some form of authority.

People may not like what they hear, but feeling oppressed because someone wrote their disagreement on a personal blog is a pathological form of this free-speech rethoric.

You're changing the subject. They said it was a scolding blog. You said that there was no scolding. Someone pointed out obvious scolding. You said freedom of speech includes the right to scold. What you should have said was "sorry, I was mistaken."

You started dishonestly (accusing someone of distorting the article when they were just disagreeing with it), why would anyone now want to have a completely different conversation with you about "free speech"? Do you assume that everyone should want to censor everything that they disagree with?

Now people aren't allowed to feel? Why?

> is a pathological form of this free-speech rethoric.

Are you a doctor or something? Do doctors diagnose rhetoric? Is it "rhetoric" to say how something makes you feel? Why are you telling people how to feel, or giving lectures about free speech?

You've done a great job of tearing off from the actual topic in just the right subtle ways to make it seem like what you're saying actually makes any sense in the context of the blog post and the person you're replying to. Bravo.

The original person you are responding to never said they were oppressed, they said calling for the abandonment of the term is woke nonsense.
