No worries, Blue Bird. There is not a 'politically correct' bone in my body and I stringently oppose unwarranted censorship and 'cancel culture', as a matter of principle. Attempts by would-be despots and tyrants at manipulating people's behaviour (and by extension, their thinking) by way of draconian carrot and stick 'social credit systems' isn't my cup of tea, either.
I will speak my mind when the need arises. You may be assured of that. However, I will do so in a respectful manner. Civil discourse requires that we have the capacity on occasion to disagree without being disagreeable. Civility and decorum need not take a back seat to displays of petty bickering nor self-aggrandisement.
And always, there is the tension and struggle within whereby the need to speak up regarding matters of importance for the general good...... Must be weighed against observance of lashon harah.
All the best,
Daryavesh
