in-depth discussion vs overly sensitive people
Do you think it's possible to have an interesting, in-depth discussion with people who are easily offended by a stretch of interpretation of what's being said?
Do you think a discussion must be stopped if someone feels uncomfortable?
or just because someone felt offended, does that mean the discussion is regarded as inappropriate?
I believe we all hope to have a civil discussion that is interesting, thought-provoking and eye-opening. Many critics (esp. many people working on internet platforms) have commented that no matter what it is, there will always be people who are offended, and giving an empty apology is detrimental to having a productive discussion.
It's great that the public is more considerate of diverse people in general. Having said that, it's impossible to make everyone happy, and public figures are quickly bashed by some people, in many cases, without having an opportunity of a rebuttal
Where do you stand on this issue? Do you think if a public figure causes a flaming, does he/she always have to agree with the majority?
I think if both parties are sophisticated debaters, it's possible to have a good discussion even if they don't reach a consensus. But sadly the world is not ideal...
