Personal responsibility isn’t something you’ll see me argue against. That said, does a simple (honest) mistake or a poorly worded message then call for an absolute storm of bullying and nastiness? I don’t think so.

I'm not one of those good leftists, lol. But that;'s how it works..isn't it? We don't tolerate the intolerant because they've broken the deal..themselves. Nobodies telling some racist he has to love darkies. Just that he can't wander around in public spouting darky this and darky that. Does he deserve inclusivity or deference? No.
He can work to deserve it. Step one..stop saying stupid harmful shit.
