“We have grave concerns about the implication of such a conflict. If constitutional protections are effectively to protect private expression, they must do so, to some extent, even when the expression (or lack thereof) of one private person threatens to interfere with the expression of another. . . . The courts, noting that free speech guarantees protect citizens against governmental restraints upon expression, have hesitated *32to permit governments to referee disputes between speakers lest such mediation, even when it flies the banner of ‘protecting speech,’ interfere with the very type of interest it seeks to protect.” (Emphasis in original.)
