It's not about young people 'not winning'. Who are they supposed to be fighting?
You may not be the one who should be questioned about this incident, but you are the one to leap to the defence of those who would silence anyone saying things with which they would disagree, so it's fair to question you about why you think that should happen.
You have said:
No venue, social media platform, or even someones living room owes anyone space to use speech others find offensive.
and also:
But again, it is no ones place to decide what others find offensive and no ones place to decide who venues and platforms host.
These statements appear to contradict one another. Which did you mean?
Who are The Deciders, who get to decide what the rest of us should hear? Universities are seats of learning, and should be the places where ideas are developed, discussed and contested. If young people are 'protected' from things that The Deciders don't think are appropriate, how are they going to decide for themselves what they think?
I cannot speak for all of Gransnet, and I wouldn't generalise about us as a group - I see us as a very disparate group of women - but I don't think that young people are always drinking, littering and being offensive in parks. Equally, I don't see them as 'delicate little flowers' who need to be told what to think or listen to by others, so I'm not sure about that contradiction either.
