I think twitter is a good example of why people are reacting so negatively to this. The changes that twitter has made are just plain PC insanity. Everyone is so afraid of backlash for being the voice of reason that it never seems to stop. You end up spending so much time tying to find and police imagined offenses that you don't get real work done.
