This is a big mistake.

But what many don’t know is that many of those codes were modified harassment codes, which redefined harassment from being a serious pattern of discriminatory behaviour to anything which could potentially offend somebody.

I think it is too. I also can see how that has lead to the way the country is so divided. If I can't disagree with anyone without insulting them, there's going to be a lot of insulted people. Some people get irrationally angry, occasionally violent, when they're insulted... or at least think they are.

Disagreeing with someone is just not the same as insulting them. It can be, but as a rule, it isn't. Too many people take it that way though.
