"Safe" and "friendly" are so vague as to be useless. I feel "unsafe" around social justice warriors because I have to watch every trivial word I say, or they'll dial things up to 11 and go after my career, and listening to PC talk "triggers" me.
- LyndsySimon 10y agoI've come to the conclusion that walking on eggshells is pointless. I know that I am not a bad person, that I have no ill intent, and that I do not seek to offend of exclude anyone regardless of our differences. This incident reinforces my view - it appears that Mr. Crockford's keynote invitation was rescinded not because of any specific action on his part, but because "his presence would make some speakers uncomfortable to the point where they refused to attend or speak."[1] That is completely subjective, and as such there is no rational means to judge whether your own words or actions will lead to such treatment or not.
