The Buddy-Steve comparison fails as that is a direct conversation in a clear context, not a snide comment appropo of nothing followed by silence.

A stanza mentioning you mother's experience is not an "allegation against her community" which must be proved or disproved. Nor is a poem read in public avoiding any responsiblity.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from decorum, agreed policies or being called on your rudeness.
