Now, if you disagree with someone, or insult them, or make a suggestion, you are not responsible to justify or clarify your words, or even to argue over them like two dignified humans. Instead you are responsible for hurt feelings. You are responsible for appearing before a kangaroo court created to restore hurt feelings. You are made to eat your words and to buy your victim human dignity while having your own stripped away. Such a lesson might teach you not speak disagreeably, whatever that might mean now and in the future.
Human dignity is a fragile thing, after all.
And you ought to know. Human rights tribunals are insulting your human dignity and a whole lot more everyday. Peter Topolewski was born in Canada in 1972.

He lives and works in Vancouver, where his corporate communications company is based.
