@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser @LittleMammith It is always offensive to use a slur, but mentioning an offensive slur when quoting others isn't inherently offensive--it is something we've decided to treat as offensive, and so when it happens, people take offense to it. I get it, but I am not sure that is helping anyone. — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser @LittleMammith It is extremely offensive for someone to say, "I hope you die of AIDS." When I worked for Andrew Sullivan, I was dismayed to see him get such hate mail. But it is not offensive for me to say, "When I worked for Andrew, he got hate email that said, 'I hope you die of AIDS.'" — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser Sorry, I'm not going to let you change the subject from the shitty thing I was documenting in the column you recommended with this whataboutism. I write about many things we don't happen to be talking about right now. — PolitiTweet.org
