Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?

I feel like you might’ve misunderstood the question?

When I said “upset” I didn’t mean that you would fly into a fit of rage, I didn’t even really mean that you would confront the other person (though those are things that you might do, I suppose), just that you would find that it sat wrong with you and you would feel that the other person was wrong to do it. Perhaps “upset” was the wrong word to use there, sorry about that.

There are also legitimate differences in the world, and we need to respect liberties to dissent & differ. They need to be justifiably upset.

That’s why I said that you already agree that the thing should be banned! The whole point is that you already think that they are justifiably upset, and that what the people are doing is wrong and shouldn’t be done.

Sorry… I did get some people before saying that my hypothetical wasn’t very good. I see that it’s caused some confusion for several people.
