So, let me get this straight - if someone says something you find hurtful, fundamentally disagree with or find offensive... you are well within your rights to walk up to them and slap them across the face as a form of instant retribution? That's your answer to the complexity of humour, competing rights in a pluralistic society and accountability?

If that's the case, can I have your address? I have something for you.*

*This threat is made in jest. It's a joke. An actual joke. Not a real threat. I feel I have to point this shit out, because the Dunning Kruger Foundation for Lateral Thought seems to be rife on Medium.

This comment is now a shiny new article in its own right. https://medium.com/lucid-nightmare/will-smith-vs-chris-rock-instant-karma-or-misplaced-justice-83ba34cc3589
