The meaning of a communication is not fully defined by the sender. The meaning is defined just as much by the receiver who interprets the meanings of the symbols used; as by the sender who sends the symbols, signals, signs, gestures, words, notes, etc. It is not helpful for an addictive person to claim that another person sent a message of unacceptable meaning, when in fact the meaning of the message depends just as much upon the interpretation given to it by the addictive person, as upon the symbols chosen by the sender of the message. The meaning of a message as intended by the sender of the message is not clear to the receiver and interpreter of the message until the receiver and the sender both have gotten to know each other and trust each other. Dialogue about each other and the context of the message is essential for both to discover the real meaning of the message. Each must listen carefully and sympathetically to the other, before each can understand what meaning was communicated by the message as both sent and received. In the light of the above it is important to defend everyone's freedom of speech, press, assembly and other rights to communicate freely and openly with a desire to understand the honest truth. Any attempt to control the content or meaning of communications is likely to lead towards dishonest and misleading communication because of natural attempts to avoid manipulative efforts by addicts and their codependent supporters to control thoughts, perceptions, feelings, desires, and behaviors.
