For me this discussion is not just about someone feeling insulted or offended. We are beyond that here, that is not what I am talking about.
I understand protection of free speech and the debating of different ideas and not only listening to one side of the story.
What I want to talk about is the way in which words are used and the power they have. I want to ask what responsibility do those in leadership roles have with their words?
It is evident that we agree here that words have power. What is the responsibility a person such as a president has with those words?
What is the responsibility a parent has with their words?
A pastor or preacher, teacher, coach etc etc
