Of course. But my freedom not to associate with someone DOES NOT give me the right to force him to go away.

Unless they are on your property, in which case you can ask them to leave.

Well sure, but that has more to do with property rights per se than with the implied right of freedom of association.

(Or maybe it doesn't. I dunno, really.)

Was anyone forced to go away?

I'm sorry, I may have missed your point about freedom to associate. What was it?
