Don t Apologize – by Seth Moskowitz – Persuasion
If we continue to censor unpopular opinions and censure those who hold them, we will be giving up the knowledge-building endeavor of constructive debate and open discourse. Instead, we should use liberalism s greatest tools logic, evidence, and persuasion to sort fact from fiction and to challenge ideas we oppose.
So if the mob comes for you, ask yourself whether you have, in fact, done something wrong. If so, go ahead and apologize. But if not, be brave and stand your ground.
This is true. When you’re accuser invites you to apologize, he isn’t doing you any favors.
