:::Apparently some people insisted on imposing themselves on the Puritans, and returning to their communities after having been peacefully expelled. What should the Puritans have done then? House and feed them at the Puritans' expense?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:22, 15 February 2011 (EST)

::::You just said above that free association is a right, if exercised "without any odious discrimination," and violence (even execution) has got to be at least as bad as "odious discrimination." If people who were expelled came back, the Puritans should have simply not associated with them. No one would have to "house and feed" them.
::::But even so, when does free association give licence to commit violence? I would think that freedom of association ends at the same place as the freedom to swing my fist. "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins." This same principle would logically apply to free association.
