But people don't up or down vote based on whether your contribution is valuable, they do it based on whether they like what you have to say. The the result being an echo chamber. If you just want people to parrot your own opinions and thoughts back at you I respect your decision but it sounds boring as shit to me.

With respect to yelling "fire" - you're not charged with the speech, you're charged with inciting the ensuing panic.

With respect to the militia - the words "the people" are used in several places in close proximity to the usage in the Second Amendment. The meaning of "the people" in the Second Amendment can't be construed to mean "the militia" without some serious mental gymnastics.

Being a lifelong third party voter, I've heard the "spoiler" line probably a thousand times, and always from Democrats.

Anecdotal, sure.. but that "might" is a hedge and we both know it.

Ah, yeah, I'd seen that one but it didn't have much content.

Why does everyone assume that if the third party candidate weren't there the votes would go to the Democrat?
