Quoting M dB (2021-03-24 23:55:23) > A few thoughts: > > - I don't like the term "cancel" because I think it doesn't mean much > anymore and is too loaded. Means too little and too much at the same time?!? https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/cancel-culture/ describes it as a form of boycott, calling out, and group shaming. Wikipedia seems to share that view - what am I missing? Am I in some bubble confirming my views, and other bubbles tell radically different storis about the meaning of the term? > Are we discussing a handful of people leaving volunteer positions? > Yes. Are we discussing ruining their lives? No. Are we disccussing public boycott and shaming? Yes. Do public boycott and shaming ruin lives? Hopefully not, but I wonder how you can so confidently dismiss both the term as being meaningless and the action as being harmless. Shame on you for not taking responsibility for your action. I get a strong impression that this RMS felow is far from a saint, and encourage that he be properly tried for his alleged wrongdoings. Public boycott and shaming is something else than a that, however. Something that _does_ means much, and has a bitter taste in my mouth. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
