But the post talks about a party, where the person feeling that they are correct feel justified in talking down to someone else in front of everybody. Good that we agree that publically lecturing is rude.

Eventually all of us will be labeled as intolerant, or as having being intolerant according to the changing sensibilities. I can just say that i try to not be rude to individuals or their intellect, but i also don’t really care if people are generally offended by ‘things’. Unless they went out of their way to diminish another person, and what that entails differs depending on the origin of ‘the offender’.
