And neither is a youthful arrogance to think that "being right" and amid similar held views gives you a right to be abusive...

Being abusive is something that's only reserved for older people then? You don't seem to be in such a hurry to criticise these apparently older and wiser on facebook for their comments but you'll certainly come for people who comment on the abuse?

If you believe that the abuse on facebook is fine then you can't really fault the response. That's picking and choosing.

But, if you're going to class one side's perspective as freedom of speech then you can't make out that it's any better or worse on the other side because of their age. As I've said since the beginning of the topic, freedom of speech works both ways.

Agreed. If you call someone a 'creature' you can't expect to not receive any backlash for it

If the worse thing someone in India's position is called is a 'creature', then I reckon she's woman enough to handle that.

It's twitter, not mensa - let's put them and it in the right perspective.

As far as I'm concerned India is a woman. But Courtney is still a man, isn't he?

To my knowledge, Courtney is non-binary and goes by the pronouns they/them

Well when you're not sure on someone's gender, how do you refer to them?

If someone asks me if someone wearing a red coat had walked past me, I'd say "yeah, they're over there", and point to their direction

Naming calling is rife across social media, not sure why people are surprised!

This.

And also, the irony of people in this thread insulting other people and calling them names because they disagree. Grow up people. You know who you are.
