Point of honor?

The Belmont Club::

"When Robin Page, a farmer, conservationist, columnist for The Daily Telegraph, and the chairman of the Countryside Restoration Trust' spoke at a pro-hunting rally in 2002, he opened his speech with this sentence. 'If you are a black, vegetarian, Muslim, asylum-seeking, one-legged lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you.' Page was arrested a month later for 'hate crime'. No surprises there. Mr. Page was subsequently exonerated, but in the process of preparing his defense he discovered that 'his name was put on a 'Homo-phobic Incidents Register''. One of my steady interests is examining the phenomenon of the online reputation. I set out to discover what this 'Homo-phobic Incidents Register' was."

Read the whole thing. Seems more like a "point of horror" to me; but that's what happens when you use the very flimsy "Hate Crime" theory that equates being offended with being harmed.
