Ahhhh...so my hunch about you not knowing what the hell you are talking about was right.

Yeah, I did some googling, I can’t find a single story about any school saying that students in a political science class are not allowed to express support for Donald Trump. You are the one making that claim - at this point I don’t think it’s too much to ask that you support it (and that’s putting aside the fact that…

What public institution has said a student in a political science class cannot express support for Donald Trump?

Interesting. Your proof of some widely held definition of safe spaces is a grey comment with no recommendations, and in fact that definition is rather benign, in that it doesn’t apply to the campus as a whole, but simply allows for certain groups of marginalized people to meet without the subtly oppressive influence…

Who defines a safe space as a place where ideas can be “diminished”? And your other example is not really a widely held understanding of a safe space, but a viral video of one professor acting inappropriately who was widely condemned, dismissed (I believe) and charged with a crime.

Is that something that’s happening? Because I doubt that’s common.

Oh, that God. Such a scamp!

Excuse me.

Same as it ever was. A bunch of self-important blowhards that want to celebrate themselves but can’t handle a few fucking jokes at their expense.

Look, guy. I am sorry you have such severe trouble reading, writing, and thinking critically. But that is not my fault, that is the fault of whoever educated you. Lash out at them, not me.

So this, and your other post in response to me asserting the university is only supposed to bring charges in case of a threat to public safety, is nearly entirely made up. The UWC acts when a complaint is filed, on the basis of an investigator’s findings. A party charged with a violation does have the right to an…

How so? What did you do?

Nah. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. An employee forwarding a complaint is different than an employee independently making a decision. If these women were violating some sort of policy of the train, an employee would have independently asked them to change their behavior. And you also have said that a PATRON asking you…

I’m not parsing it in any way. The employee asking you to tone it down is responding to a customer’s SUBJECTIVE belief of what is “too loud.” There is no objective criteria. Your belief is that a single patron gets to determine the acceptable behavior for an entire social setting. That may be how things work at your…

Nah. It doesn’t. It doesn’t because a single other patron’s subjective idea of “too loud” does not change the socially acceptable behavior of groups in social settings. That is why you couldn’t answer my last question. Whether a group is being “too loud” in a social setting is ENTIRELY SUBJECTIVE. I highly doubt that,…

See, you named a number of different settings with wildly different expectations. In a theatre, any talking is unacceptable. In a at or on a wine train, socializing in groups, and laughing, is expected and encouraged. The mere fact that someone’s subjective idea of “too loud” was reached DOES NOT mean you have crossed…

The setting absolutely does matter. This is specifically a social setting. I have never been in any social setting where a group was asked to SOLELY because of the group’s volume. Groups are ALWAYS going to be loud. It is the very nature of groups. Most people understand this. Only selfish assholes expect groups in a…

Why did you get kicked off?

It was a wine train that encourages groups to ride. It is not a commuter train or a library. It is specifically a social setting. You know what happens when any group socializes? It gets loud. Because volume increased when 5 or 10 or 15 people are all laughing and talking together. If you attend a social setting where…

Ahhh....we get to the point where the person with the idiotic point of view pats themselves on the back for being nuanced and willing to go against the grain, without realizing that sometimes the reason EVERYONE tells you you are wrong is because your point of view is stupid, not because you’re a brilliant…
