Nope..no violation of my rights. I'd think it was annoying as hell, but not violating my rights. You could stand right in front of my house on the sidewalk. The minute you step into my yard is another story.

Note - it would also depend on WHAT you are saying - if it were libel/slander, then it would be a actionable issue - however, you cannot stop someone from saying something libelous BEFORE they say it. That's Prior Restraint, and it's illegal.
