Also, I think people like him do these kinds of things because they want to hurt people. I want to deny them that satisfaction, to the extent it is possible.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Examples must be made even if it gives a bigot like this attention. I wish there were some way to deny them that attention, but I don’t see how to do both at the same time… although not using his name (which the article did do) might be a good compromise.
