You have the right to say what you want as long as you accept the opposing right to call you out for your ignorant reference. No one is talking about punishment other than in the court of public opinion for people who sound dumb aka those who throw in casual misogyny or remarks insulting the developmentally disabled. You didn't need to say that to make a point and it shows a lack of awareness. If you're calling out others for having a thin skin, you appear to be throwing stones from within a glass house my brother
This post is an example of missing the point entirely as well as just getting some things incorrect
Lets go over it again
A different poster who wasn't me made the initial joke about a TV show in reference to a JR smith tweet. (no one mentioned women in anyway so I'm not sure why you're citing misogyny, this just comes off as an intellectual dishonest way to frame the conversation since no one said anything about women)
Another poster quoted it saying I'm offended, don't use this word, which has nothing to do with the thread topic.
I responded to the 2nd post with the pic you quoted and then again stating that people are free to say whatever they want however they want without punishment because censorship of any kind is not acceptable. Punishment in the court of public opinion is an attempt to force censorship through peer pressure.
I've not asked anyone to stop doing what they've been doing or refrain from using certain words. I in fact invited people to carry on the conversation in PM's since it's not related to the thread topic. I've not directly attacked any one either by calling them dumb, ignorant or accusing them of being in a glass house nor am I offended. I actually find this to be really funny.
On a side note did you know that the word "dumb" was originally used as a medical term meaning unable to speak or mute. Hence the saying "Deaf, Dumb and Blind" which was used both as a legal and medical phrase. (Similar in origin to the medical term "idiot" which was later replaced by "retard")
Taking the above knowledge from the last paragraph into account it begs the question didn't you just betray your own values and commit the same sin as the original poster who made fun of the TV show due to your use of the word dumb in your post ?
