Sorry Steve if you were shocked. I've never watched Foxnews nor the person you name and whose name I read for the first time. I don't live in the US but the word "cancel culture" has spread over the world and is seen in my country as a fashion which I don't think I need to describe here. I was always a leftist, which means in my country far more left that in yours. I think social networks favour the trends of humans to form groups of activists against whatever immorality, supposed or real, and collectively harrass the people they declare guilty. When this happens against living people, wether unknown or famous, it is just called harrasment; when it addresses dead celebrities, we call it by the word you disapprove. My position in the current debate about RMS is evolving and balancing. -- Didier _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
