    Jeet Heer Retweeted Batya Ungar-Sargon

    "Sure, it's no gulag." I agree that being dunked on, in however unpleasant a manner, is not the same as being sent to a slave labor camp in the frozen tundra of Siberia. Maybe we should end the cancel culture discourse here.https://twitter.com/bungarsargon/status/1286345109500502021 …

    “Not many people have to be punished for the self-regulation to take effect," @thomaschattwill told me recently. Now he's having his words taken out of context and old tweets dragged out to shame him from public life. Sure, it's no gulag. But it has the desired effect.

        If you don't want to be insulted for your views, then you shouldn't have any views. There's always going to be somebody who will insult you for any given view.

        Wonder what she'd have thought if someone had said "it's no Sachsenhausen" in such a context

        The most tiring thing about this whole topic is, suppose folks like Chatterman are right, what are they actually proposing? Should twitter ban people who are rude to the New York Times editorial board? Should schools expel students who criticize professors?

        Right, what they're proposing is a very, very draconian set of limits on what people are allowed to say.

        The past couple of weeks have shown how vacuous and disingenuous the entire thrust of the arguments “against” it are. I just want it to end.

        Getting assaulted is not as bad as being murdered, so we should cease complaining about assault
