Comedians all need special protection from this “cancel culture” crap. They’re far more enjoyable than the bots on Twitter that engage in flame & rant wars.

Where's the line? Louis CK ?

I wrote that parent comment with Louis CK in mind. He’s hilarious and needs comedian protection.

The line in the sand is where you break a law or are sued and taken to court. The penalty is the legal result of breaking the law or the settlement/verdict from court. Trial by mob is never the appropriate response.

How about you feel free to determine your line in the sand, and I will determine mine.

This sounds nice, but results in everyone from Hitler on down given free reign, leading directly to everything from Kristallnacht to Jan 6 to shouting fire in a crowded theater.

Can we agree to draw a line in the sand somewhere before legit hate speech?
