Then the "mods' get called and the Whaaaaaambulance comes in and sensors your post because you may have potentially possibly perhaps pissed someone off.
Censorship in any form or fashion is not conducive to honest discourse. If someone is always sour, the majority will eventually stop responding. If censorship is introduced, the true opinions will be stifled/censored and you will end up with 'nosebleed' drivel that is politically correct meaningless to everyone and useful to no-one.
It's almost as if you are a prophet.
It's really hard to have a conversation with someone who is totally detached from reality.

That is a little creepy.
Yep. Don't see any reference to him being upset that people won't deal with his psychological and verbal abuse.

Wahhhhh! You hurt my feelings when you said that!!
Bahh, wrong!
Only you can control your feelings and it's about damn time you take ownership over the way you feel and stop trying to police other peoples language.
Let's take a look at the word ownership and see what it means...
own·er·ship
ˈōnərˌSHip/
noun
noun: ownership; plural noun: ownerships
the act, state, or right of possessing something.
The right of possessing something. YOU possess your own feelings, they are not mine to determine. They are yours and only you can effect them. Feeling victimized by my words is a choice YOU make for yourself, not one that I make for you. In todays world of safe spaces and everybody wins if you say something someone finds offensive, or derogatory they feel they have the moral high ground or the moral authority to take your right of free speech away and this is the beginning of a bigger problem. The scariest part of this entire paradigm is that is a small minority of the population who are attempting to and beginning to succeed in taking control of the public narratives to the point of where our presidential hopefuls are having to comment on things such as what bathrooms are we aloud to use.
Thought crime, spoken of in Orwell's 1984 is the basis for and beginning of an authoritarianism that we are seeing really popping its head up during this years election cycle in a way I've never seen before... all the way down to what bathroom people are using.
Thoughtcrime Wiki
The term was popularized in the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, wherein thoughtcrime is the criminal act of holding unspoken beliefs or doubts that oppose or question the ruling party. In the book, the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects.
In this case we are speaking about the far left and extreme liberal logic, where we have to use the proper gender pronouns depending on the pronoun someone chooses to be called by based on some gender spectrum. Not that I inherently have a problem with this but I have a problem with the fact that these issues are being used to control and divide to implement a more direct system of control, control of our speech patterns and thoughts.
This is a scary trend and I am not confident that the younger generations are going to break this trend. With the destruction and perversion of our school systems at both a local and college level, our children are being used against us to further this agenda.
(I'm tired this thread may be all over the place)

What really makes me mad is when people refer to me as they or their and not them.
It pierces the heart of my emotions. My bleeding heart of emotions.

What he said is people need to suck it up and control their emotions, regardless of other people's language. What I have shown is that language can have real-world consequences and that approach is ignorant of reality.
It's a rather simple concept.

That appears to be a very weak troll comment.
Not even a nibble, but good try.
