Unfortunately, most of those responses are very rational and reasoned. The regime has decided that intimidation is a useful tool for defending its narratives, and uses it in many contexts.

That global campaigne makes an even handed response for Purdue important, both for this context, and helping set an example for wider contexts.

We need to maintain/develop a strong and even handed culture - standing up for everyone's right of expression without harassment.

You have a good point. As hard as it is to admit, ‘overbearing insane seeming overreaction’ is a useful and rational reputation to have in certain circumstances.

It definitely cuts down on the number of sane people being willing to be seen doing whatever it is that typically causes that response.
