I suppose the lesson to take from that is, “Don’t go near twitter is you hold any even slightly controversial views.”
I could comment about ‘left wing bullies’ but of course these authoritarian attitudes we encounter are not left wing at all. Emotionally needy bullies have hijacked the term ‘left’ because they think it sounds cuddlier and more politically correct that the truthful description, ‘doctrinaire.’
Anyway this is a good article and you’re a fine and original writer, please don’t be intimidated by those bigots who accuse anybody that does not share their opinion of bigotry.
