And someone else's misconduct does not give others license to engage in same.
Star A runs over somebody with their vehicle while drunk. He blames his driver. Does that give his fans or critics the right to engage in the same behavior?
A politician calls an entire people - cockroaches....subsequently thousands are killed. His himself did not kill anybody - but was his speech inciting hatred appropriate?
Just because cyberspace is generally unpoliced that does not mean that cyberbullying is a myth.
And when it comes to freedom of speech btwn, I have gone up against some of the best mods like Shruti on IF. It is a freedom I value dearly and one I am always willing to debate.
Anjana since you want to dig it let me tell you how that someone shied from answering a question of SBS reporter... Unless it had been a big issue the re[porter would NOT have asked it to him! Further his reaction! Now i really not wanna talk about it.. YES if it was not him writing all those things why did he have to propogate about the blog in the IF photo shot video... I have nothing against anyone here....
Anyone sane would understand that this topic is becoming a war zone... and a mod who takes first chance to close the topic should have clsoed this by now....
We are not discussing about the so called actor who ran over people after being drunkl or the politician who called people cockroaches because THY ARE NOT IN GEET!
And yes when you yourself agree with me that the someone under discussion did somthing wrong by talking about 'Does that give his fans or critics the right to engage in the same behavior? ' I dont have any issues!
