The answer to someone who is making offensive comments is to deal with them appropriately and not expect those on the receiving end to take steps to avoid it.
Do you think that elderly & neuro diverse people who get scammed are 'snowflakes'?
Do you think that those with severe depression who are actually encouraged to take their own lives are/were snowflakes?
Do you think that children who are groomed, blackmailed or threatened by paedophiles are 'snowfkakes'?
This legislation aims to deal with a plethora of inappropriate online behaviour.

Just avoid entering any thread where the subject matter doesn't interest you, simple really.
There are many threads in here where I have absolutely no interest in what's being discussed, but I don't enter them to whine about what they are talking about, simply because the subject matter doesn't interest me personally. I just don't go into them and hope that they have an enjoyable and productive discussion.

No, I'm sorry Richard, but this is completely wrong. If you don't like what you start reading, just move on and ignore it.
This proposal will eventually destroy free speech. You have to ensure that your remedies for the illness in society doesn't kill everyone in the process.
The Communists in our world will simply love this legislation. It will provoke quite a reaction, so be careful what you wish for!
