<p>Shame that. Last time I drove past a college in the US it was the day the hat sorts people into fraternities or however that works and there was a great big cardboard sign on the lawn with a poignant message scribbled in sharpie: "Thank you for your daughters"<p>Quite the facial expressions on parents dropping off their kids and good chunk of life savings at these ivory towers.</p>

<p>>  Killing Caesar was a noble act<p><pre><code>  Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
  I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

  The evil that men do lives after them;
  The good is oft interred with their bones;

  So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
  Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
  If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
  And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.

  Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–
  For Brutus is an honourable man; 
  So are they all, all honourable men– 
  Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.

  He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
  But Brutus says he was ambitious;
  And Brutus is an honourable man.

  He hath brought many captives home to Rome
  Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
  Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
  When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
  Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
  Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
  And Brutus is an honourable man.

  You all did see that on the Lupercal
  I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
  Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
  Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
  And, sure, he is an honourable man.

  I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
  But here I am to speak what I do know.

  You all did love him once, not without cause:
  What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?

  O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
  And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
  My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
  And I must pause till it come back to me.</code></pre></p>

Truly. But happens to be misguided if you develop your ears. Which you should.

<p>I am against censorship, the subject itself is perfectly worthy. These particular efforts effectively mix true(ish) information with untrue information meant to inflame tensions and divisions and demoralize people.<p>Feeding the trolls does not increase confidence and trust in anything. When threads don't go off the rails like that, criticize away, no objections.</p>

<p>It doesn't really change that because that doesn't really happen. It doesn't happen because one conflict flows into the next as they are all part of the larger game. These things don't happen in a vacuum.</p>
