@neilhimself @ShettyShet Ah, good to know, it's hard/impossible to know impetus behind RTs sometimes

@neilhimself @ShettyShet Well that poor girl just got a lot of response :p.

@neilhimself Your piece was excellent. It's hard for people to defend things they find 'icky', but it's imperative to remain objective.

@neilhimself Respect for asking before the RT.

@neilhimself Same here! And I've been reading Charlie for almost 20 years...

@neilhimself I didn't particularly like the cartoons in question for various reasons but I'll defend to the death the right to publish them

@neilhimself Sick of people saying "It's appalling but.." There's no but. Horrendous arseholes murdered people in a childish temper tantrum

@neilhimself @ShettyShet really a wonderfully insightful read with my first cup of coffee. Discussed similar over wine w friends last night.

@neilhimself hmm. So the answer to foul writing is to call it out, not ban or kill? Isn't that what she did?

@neilhimself We knew :) Yours is, probably, the wisest thought regarding Freedom of Speech: "We must defend even what we don't like".
