Those filing suit intimate that no ‘open minded, tolerant, diversified etc.’ individual would countenance whatever it is that has been said/posted etc. In this way, they try to enlist the public in their efforts to stop whatever they want stopped. Of course, while the ‘target’ might be very much narrow minded, INtolerant and all those things of which we are told to ‘beware’ in today’s society, the fact remains that it isn’t his (or her) VIEWS that are being targeted so much as that person’s right to EXPRESS those views. And if that person loses that right, we ALL lose it even if our views are ‘open minded, tolerant and diversified’.
Beware the ‘bait and switch’ which makes the OPINION of the person the focus of the matter rather than that which those involved want to do REFERABLE to that opinion – such as silence it.
