I agree 100%. Definitely a sense of cosmic irony

Conservatives Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter have had numerous experiences as of late with this kind of thing (issues speaking on campus, people trying to block them).

If someone came to speak in my area and that person held views diametrically opposite of mine, I wouldn't seek to block them. Hell, I'd pave them way for them to come - and then I'd show up and debate them during the Q&A.

The honest truth is that the "snowflake" term is spot-on right now.
