John Cleese has said, “PC stuff started out as a good idea, which is, ‘Let’s not be mean to people’, and I’m in favour of that despite my age,” “The main thing is to try to be kind. But that then becomes a sort of indulgence of the most over-sensitive people in your culture, the people who are most easily upset.”

He continued: “I don’t think we should organise a society around the sensibilities of the most easily upset people because then you have a very neurotic society.”

Should we be treading on eggshells in order to indulge those who are most easily upset - or who claim to be?

We, the vast vast majority should not only ignore these usually anonymous cowards, but insult them to boot.
Not being offended is not a human right.
