I may have said this before, but context is everything; it's not enough to just look at the words spoken, or written, the surrounding context always has to be borne in mind. Is something said out of malice, or of ignorance? These things are important.
And if someone does say something a little off, is that reason enough to demonise them? If they recognise their error and apologise, should that not be the end of the matter? Especially if this is something they learn from, so that they are not going to repeat it?
It seems to me in this day and age these things are not taken in to consideration. A badly thought out tweet can be enough to turn someone from being an ally to an enemy. This is surely wrong. No one person is perfect. We all have the capacity to make a mistake, and to learn from it.
I dunno...
