Yes.

> Personally I think we should draw a clear line between these two types of actions. When we don't do that, we weaken legitimate free speech.

Refers to the free speech natural right.

> You are in confusion, there is no free speech issue; the First Amendment protects the free speech from the government, nothing else.

Refers to an amendment.

The amendment protects the natural right from state aggression. However, the right can be violated in ways not “made illegal” by the amendment.
