that is what lawful free speech is all about.

a bit like the OfS standing up for those who's rights the university sought to inhibit.

Uni's are well and truly frequent travelers on the Woke Express. We've all seen the stories of people preparing to speak/perform at some uni's and being asked to sign a form that covers all the things they can't mention. I think one or two have essentially said 'you can stuff it' and have not gone through with their speech/performance.

I have been guest speaker/lecturer at several universities and have never had to dance the Wokey Cokey.

How does any word come in to existencege

I know it exists in the same way any slang word exists. It's meaningless. I see it wasn't mentioned in the news report but only in your imagination.

You are correct. Sorry (not sorry) if my thread title offended you.

I have to confess I do like the smell of formic acid, which is used as a hardner when fibreglassing boats. Reminds me of building Mirrors as a kid.

Are you adding illusionist to your burgeoning resume?

It's the solvent, I believe. Strong stuff. It makes the (ab)user believe in fantasies and made up words.

Typical of many of the members on here, you have to bitch about the use of a word rather than discuss the actual subject.
