But that's a social shortcoming on your part, blaming the messenger for the
message.
If the behaviour is repetitive, it's repetitive. We have now a fresh example
of 'Affirming P was an isolated tiny thing I don't think anyone should be
offended by it'. In a few days we'll have 'Since P, then Q'.
Ignoring that and making the protest sound like thought police seems (seems)
disingenuous.
