#1 "They're more committed to their righteousness than they are to the rights of other people."

Money quote. I just had to repeat it.

#2 Free speech for me but not for thee!

I bet the 'collective' and its members would be the first to sue if it was they who were refused service by anyone.

#5 Fill your tray up with about $50 worth of food. Accidentally sneeze on it when you are waiting in line. When they refuse to serve you, put the tray down, turn around and walk out. Rinse and repeat for a couple of weeks. Of course, if they do agree to serve you, you just bought a $50 lunch.

#9 This echos the rationale of southern slave owners in the early 19th century who wished to ban abolitionist speech because it "inflicted emotional injury" on slave owners. It's the same mindset.

#10 I find it encouraging that the director of the student union stepped up and tried to explain common sense to these students, and threatened sanctions if they didn't wake up and smell the coffee. At least somebody on campus knows what the law means.
