Apropos of nothing really:
It's becoming increasingly clear that all of us have 2 different worlds we inhabit
The screen world where we form our "worldliness " from a device
And a real world where we form our worldliness from our senses and lived* experiences.
These are very different things/places
Until the screen world accurately reflects the other one, outrage just ensues
Ps. * just for you baron....🙂
My lived experience is that Barbarian is wrong. My undead experience is that he is still wrong, and my lived inexperience is that he is still wrong. Not sure about my undead inexperience yet.

And soon as you used the phrase 'lived experience' I phased out. Such a lame phrase that means basically that you just dont want to admit that your anecdotal evidence is... anecdotal evidence.
Your anecdotal proof is just not worth alot. No more than my opinion is.
And your opinion is 'the vast majority of fans' don't care about his tweet, without anything to back it up other than gut.
OK.
Well we may as well leave it here then, as we'll just go in circles. A pleasure, as always.

An Australian player is causing problems in Australia effecting Australian Rugby and dividing Australian rugby fans (fair weather and serious)
I suspect an Australian might have a pretty good idea how it’s playing out..Only one person is responsible for this mess.
The guy who posted the tweet. -
Bit of revelation. AR apparently offered Folau money to remove the post.

Truth will out but I do find it funny how 'fake news' only applies to some things.
That link itself says that RA have denied that the claim is true yet that is a footnote to the headline that is swallowed up by the gullible.

The guy who posted the tweet.That “tweet” has been a part of western culture for millenia. It’’s biblical scripture. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Blame the person(s) who wrote it. Ban social media. Ban the Bible — heck, try banning all religion if you must. But don’t try to tell us a new “messenger” started it. What he did wrong was blaspheme by straying outside the new secular dogma. It’s one cult penalizing a member of another.

OR ... come down hard on the guy who still lives by this part of the book but ignores others which don’t suit his lifestyle,
Just an option.

I believe the privilege of free speech comes with responsibilities. I don’t believe Foolau has been responsible in this instance
I agree with your 1st sentence
Your 2nd sentence is subjective
An important Question is whether his punishment is proportionate to his actions.......
Your spelling of FOLAU is idiotic to say the least if it was deliberate

This may shock you but 2 things can be right at the SAME time
I suggest you try better when constructing strawman arguments

I certainly don’t agree with that.
The part of free speech I struggle with is being free of consequence from all corners.
Government / Law. That is free speech.
Employers .... can / worms everywhere -

You forget, Folau is a Christian and it's a sin to lie so it must be true.
I believe that's checkmate!
..Actually I doubt there will be any evidence either way. AR surely wouldn't be stupid enough to put it in an email and Folau wouldn't be devious enough to record a conversation

Yeah cant see that happening anytime soon...

True, that would be the part that includes me at least three times. I read the whole quote. I’m condemned to Hell by that same scripture. Maybe I just have thicker skin. Maybe I have a high enough IQ that if I’m following a twitter or instagram feed of somebody who says things that offend me, I stop following them, and look for ideas elsewhere. But I understand that while that works perfectly well for me and is a simple solution, it’s probably too much of a reach expecting other people to do the same. So secular dogma it is, and I’m a heretic from both sides — the Christians and the Cult of Woke. Victimized twice, and I’’m okay with it. It gets better. See?.
