this is a campaign which says you must say what he think you must say or prepare for us to try to publicly shame you, at best, or leave you open to physical attack at worst.

Did you have a good weekend, John? You are certainly in great form today!

Your statement above is the argument that is being used to justify "PC" censorship. I should not be allowed to let people know what you say, because that would force you to change what you say, otherwise I am shaming you or subjecting you to attack.

You can get away with this type of thinking in the Universities. As a matter of fact, it the type of approach that has been used to justify "Speech Codes" on Campus.

It is losing out, because every time this approach is subjected to our court system, it is ruled illegal.

If you would please clarify your position, are you saying that, if you had the power, you would shut down the Campus Watch website?
