Hivemind Mentality.

You cannot ever say one is allowed to freely express themselves, but then turn around and shut down any opposing viewpoint that even includes ones you don't like to hear. Everyone wants to hear themselves talk and even more, wants those to echo them.

It is even worse when it's operated under zero tolerance. Okay so at that point, freedom to express yourself is out the window. Mind as well not have any opinions.
