        I do.

        You’re doing the far-right bullshit thing of treating the fact that a position requires (gasp) human judgment as an argument against the position itself. “Who gets to decide what’s fair?” “Who gets to decide what constitutes harm?” “Who gets to decide what’s reasonable?” They act like these are impossible questions that somehow invalidate the whole idea. If you’re an adult and have any confidence in your own morality, you should be able to make judgment calls. I promise it really isn’t an impossible dilemma unless you’re a moral relativist coward.

          The problem is that lots of adults have confidence in their own morality, but they don’t agree. So if you allow violence to enforce your own moral code, then you have to recognize that they will do it too.

              Lots and lots of people will “find out” if there is open season on certain words defined by whoever. That’s why we agree not to.
