I love Rumi and Quakers, but I have to push back on this.. It makes sense, but that makes it too easy a camouflage for tyrannical controls. For example, the UK government can say the people they arrest had it coming because they should have thought it out before saying something objectionable, and at least half the population accepts it. Its moral camouflage.
Say your stupid thing. If its offensive, fuck it, it should be offensive to call something offensive. You have a right to exist without being perfect. A perfect world is not full of considerate people - its full of inconsiderate people who aren't easily offended.
