      Meanwhile, two Reuters reporters are jailed in Myanmar for doing their jobs. How about some perspective?https://twitter.com/NoahCRothman/status/987349760960073729 …

      If there is one thing the experiences of Stephens, Weiss, McArdle, and Williamson has clarified for all objective observes, it is what true courage in writing really is. The kind with personal and professional consequences.

      I think I could just about muster the courage to be a highly-paid op-ed columnist for one of the nation's top publications, even if I have to put up with some mean tweets

      Replying to @lawrencehurley

      1/"Highly paid?" - I guess these things are relative. Re: courage, is your argument that, unless someone is at the current global maximum level of courage, they can't be lauded for any courage at all? Seems an odd position. Why not just say it may be courageous but you disagree?

      Replying to @PereGrimmer

      I think my point is that it really isn't courageous in this country to write op-eds

          Replying to @lawrencehurley

          Assume, for the sake of argument, that writing an op-ed with certain content means that you run the risk of losing your job, being socially ostracized, and a Twitter mob forming to assail you. Is it not then "courageous" to risk those things? Or is it physical derring-do only?
