       | For adults to function in society they must accept the existence
       | of people with different worldviews. They be able to cooperate
       | with people of different worldviews, to achieve ends that have
       | nothing to do with those worldviews.

       | Society cannot go on if we keep trying to mob, bully and cancel
       | people from other tribes.

       | "It's him or me" is a tactic for playground bullies, not for
       | academics at respected institutions.

       | The Royal Society is a better place without this silliness.
