Norpig's post about the people that trolled Captain Tom added to thousands of prior examples of unwarranted nastiness via social media. What is wrong with people?! I see Trump is back to his old ways, for example, and remains a threat in his power to influence huge numbers of people with his ugly rhetoric.
Mankind is seriously split between the kindly and the hurtful. We even see examples on here.
There was some interesting comment yesterday about free speech, following a quote about universities remaining places where ALL views should be aired for public consumption without censorship.
"The censorship of anyone with different views should be unacceptable in any university. A major benefit of a university education is exposure to ideas that may be different from your own. Without such diversity of experiences graduates are less able to contribute to society once in the workplace. There is a real risk that future graduates will be unemployable."
And the response:-
[size=16][size=16]" but it won't be long before the far-right bots descend to attack anything they vaguely see as being left-wing.
My problem with the Tory Government interference is that what they are championing as free speech is no such thing. There is no legal right to spread hatred, racism, homophobia, or anything else the right like to use to divide society."
