    Imposing in a social or personal sense rather than a legal sense, yes. Fine to say 'I don't want to hear how offended you are.'https://twitter.com/knwledgepursuer/status/899611596707708929 …

    if they didn't want offensive ideas legally censored, but they did want people to self-censor, would u regard that as imposing it on others?

        I am offended by certain words & phrases. I really dislike them. They're ugly & demeaning. I have to deal with this.

        2/ homophobes, say, could lose their employment for their offensive ideas. Not legally, maybe, but we all know it's easy to do. Even free..

        3/ speech "absolutists" aren't really great at defending the rights of societal offenders to be fully and truly out with their thinking.

        That's a huge topic which is also often subjective & speculative to address in bullet-pointed principles.

        Agree. It's a bear. Just thought it's always good to have in the mix re: all thinking on the topic of managing offence.

        I agree, but at some point non-gov social pressure is oppressive. Do we use legal response? Or social response?
