Did this move satisfy the rage in you?

Can testimonies of suffering justify these kinds of invitation to  
policing of our intellectual lives?

Isn't taking recourse to punitive action an ally of our deep fear to  
live life with disagreements?

If police is brought in to intervene, will there be people left to  
argue with and convince?
