I’m not a high profile writer, so no whines from my side.
But I don’t like Cancel Culture. I don’t like mob justice, I don’t like it being ok for people to express outrage and dismissal of other people’s opinions, even controversial ones, when they are respectfully posed.
To me, key to polite debate is to accept a very wide range of opinions, so long as they are phrased with respect for other people, in particular those who disagree. This is precisely what is missing when you “cancel” someone. At best, it is counterproductive, at worst, actually damaging to societal debate.
