you can't tell someone you'll die fighting for their beliefs and then turn around and say "you'd better not voice them if i don't think you deserve to".
Did you even read the letter? He didn't say "she'd better not voice them". He said he thought it was cowardice, but he's entitled to his opinion same as she is entitled to hers, right? Just because he believes in free speech doesn't mean he has to like what she says and he is doing nothing wrong by telling her what he thinks and sending her tapes back.
