Censorship is not the solution, growing a thicker skin is.

... and ya know, a One Way door or Exit Only sign on that butt would not hurt either.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Er , just to be clear, i was advocating taping up the CJW's mouths, not anybody elses's. Since they are the ones who care so much about butthurt, and they are the ones causing most of it, seems only fair and rational to me.
Anyway, my skin is thick enough already , especially at the top end .

I think that it is like creating a meal. Right ingredients and amounts of. There IS room for a few socialist ideas, there is absolutely room for the strong and solid traditional vales of Conservative and the Classic Liberal ties to exploring modern philosophy and expression and new values,  as well as the Libertarian freedoms

The problem is getting the right amounts of these things and mixing it together

Has the perfect recipe ever been accomplished?

I think it is at least as possible that a group of monkeys with a box of watch parts can come up with a watch that works.

We already have all the parts. How do we make it ALL work together?

Never and it never will be.

I think the best a country can do is elect someone with a basic foundation in one party but some other strong views outside of the party lines.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I think that they need a dose of what they dish out to others. "okay you organised a campaign to write nasty letters to this person's workplace to get him fired and to the police to get him investigated and arrested? How about we start slamming your business in every review sites and slam it on social media?"
They like it far better when the shoe is on the other foot. Same with college students doing the screaming demands. Say "No, and we no longer wish to have you agitators here"

Yeah, our Universities need to be purged of these self-righteous censorious assholes.

But, seriously: over-retaliation could result in some important human rights going down the tubes. Some part of me would surely love to pay back the self-righteous pricks, but how could I achieve that without becoming a self-righteous prick in my own right, and sertting a dangerous precedent ?

It's a nice fantasy, but I don't really fancy the reality.

Actually, the only real cure for prejudice is education, right? So , applying that principle to the SJW's how can we cure them of their prejudice? Hmm. well, didn't Phililip Roth (was it?) write a book about a University lecturer who gets hounded out off his job etc, all on account of his innocent mis-use of the word "ghost" ?  Make them read that book, then write an essay about it, for starters. Don't throw them out of the colleges, chain them to their desks, until they get it.

Good question.

I'd be in favor of a 3 strikes you're out policy, depending on the severity of what they did.

That way at least you're giving them a chance to learn proper behavior.
