"It's a free country." is an idiomatic expression often used in reply to someone who proposes an unwelcome, unlawful restriction. Blue made the request "Please just stay far, far away from anyone else... ." My reply infers that I'm free to go where I wish (within the limits of the law) and fully intend to do so.

Truly ignorant people think they know what's best for everyone else which is why Blue asked that I stay away "from anyone else" instead of just asking that I stay away from her. Had she been less arrogant, I would have been more cordial.
