I am not one of those "don't ask my certain questions" people, although I recognize (and honor) that others are. I have publicly stated numerous times over the years that anyone can ask me anything they want to; I may decline to answer, but if I answer it will be honest.
I do not feel that I MUST let any Tom, Dick, or Harry do or say anything he (or she, to be fair) feels is A-okay.
Nor do I.
Well, actually, in one sense I must indeed let them do or say anything they feel is OK, because I cannot control others' behavior. But I control my reactions to their behavior, and they might not like my reactions.
