You said "'insulting' is fairly obvious when you see it" and I asked if you supported the standard of "I know it when I see it".
I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, jumped to conclusions, or phrased my question poorly, but I hope you can forgive me for finding those two approaches very similar.
If you think there is a universal unambiguous system for deciding whether a claim is "insulting" then I'd be happy to learn about it. For example, I can imagine people disagreeing about whether the statement "Country X has a problem with corruption." is insulting to people in country X.

- dane-pgp 6y agoIf those three criteria are the only valid grounds for deeming a statement "insulting", then I agree that the risk of the rules being misused is greatly reduced. Let's hope that the people enforcing them show such restraint.
