It's basically George Orwell's thought police, given life and force in our modern society. The sooner we get over it, the better.

The government isn’t trying to make you be kind and respectful to others here. You are free to speak like chauvinist or jerk or what have you as much as you want. No Orwellian thought police will molest you for it. You just sound, unnecessarily, like a jerk to some of us. I think we have the right to feel that way as well.

Absolutely, you have the right to feel that way. And I don't give a rat's ass whether you feel that way or not.

I'm not telling you that you can't be offended. I'm telling you that calling me out and making an issue of it sounds like George Orwell's thought police. And trying to institutionalize it in government, which many of your fellow travelers have unfortunately already succeeded in doing, IS George Orwell's thought police. I'm not trying to control what you say or think. You are trying to do that with me.
