This definition that can be found in the Collins English Dictionary is how I define it - yaaayyy I'm as smart as a dictionary  woohoo  😛

 

World English Dictionary

hate speech

 

— n

speech disparaging a racial, sexual, or ethnic group or a member of such a group

 

 

in other words I see hate speech as racism or bigotry

 

So how do others define it?

What does hate speech mean to you?

'Hate speech, Interpersonal dispute and so on....." are the reasons I get given for getting a slap, when in fact the reasons should have bee that I have leveled fair criticism at someone and they have reported as hate speech and so on.

 

Unfair criticism delivered in a vitriolic way may come close to be considered "hate speech"

 

Hate is a very strong and negative emotion, I stay well clear of negativity, unfortunately a lot on here, by design, love to play the victim role ans make a sport of malicious reporting for reasons of their own.

 

As my signature states, read and understand what is being said instead of jumping to a conclusion that suits your own particular interpretation

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Victim of malicious reporting when I have leveled fair criticism?

 

To that I would have to answer yes as would countless others answer in like manner

I guess this might qualify:

 

"Poor Julia. Wonder how the happy couple are adjusting to the real world? are they still together or has he served his purpose. Wonder what he'll do for vip tickets now? flog off all the memorabilia he cadged off sporting bodies"

Just facts, you may not like it but thats how it is

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

i didn't bother  reading any follow up posts but what part of that OP do you consider is hate speech?

 

There is no racism, no bigotry, no real nastiness, its simply saying the plan is not going to work.

because the reason for posting is to incite angry and hateful responses, not for any meaningful discussion.
