I think it's a mistake to give in to Identity Politics' taste for censorship.<br>
<br>
It's a mark of the (self-imposed) weakness of liberalism over the last generation, that it's given up real attempts to stop wrong things from being done - and instead turned to furious attempts to make sure wrong things aren't said. (Cf. Hedges' 'Death of the Liberal Class.')<br>
<br>
The local Occupy group has seemed to me particularly susceptible to this error (and it's hardly alone).<br>
<br>
I do trust however you won't remove Wayne from the peace lists, whatever his sins against decorum.<br>
<br>
Stopping taunting (if that's what it is) in a political group is no substitute for stopping murder by a president. The morning headlines show us again how much needs to be done there.<br>
<br>
