While I can respect the way that you can calmly discuss it Tipper, there are others that will go to some lengths to shut down any noise of opposition.
Take Margaret Court for example. While I don't agree with her, all she did was express her opinion, without the vitriol. I don't think it helps society to gang up on people with a different point of view. You end up forcing those views underground. One of these days the politically correct crowd are going to be extremely wrong about something very important, and people who speak out will be few and far between for fear of getting blasted on Twitter/Facebook/YouTube etc. Or have their achievements dragged through the gutter. Society needs to grow up and realise that the line has been drawn too far from center.
and i dont disagree with anything you have said Theri. im far from politically Correct usually, i just happen to side with the Yes side on this particular topic. im far from an SJW and have actually argued with people that were taking things too far on the Yes side. (one of my mates thought churches should be forced to marry gay couples, till i pointed out that is no different just opposite, to the current situation)
but there are those people on both sides sadly. that doesnt make it right, and it was one of the reasons people tried to stop the public vote (whether plebiscite, or this postal vote) unfortunately this has given the idiots on both sides a platform to spout their crap, and its landing on the rest of us int he middle
