I got canceled from a volunteer job (!) that I had done/ led for ten years, AFTER I retired, for saying, in my farewell to the group, ‘I look forward to the time when the WuFlu has abated and we can again play music together.’ (I started to self-edit as I wrote, then thought - “I’ll be darned if I am going to let the Chinese Communist Party tell me how to speak’) The new president - whom I had taken over for 10 years before - called me and suggested SHE write my apology. She said ‘Some people complained that you hurt their feelings.” Fine - I didn’t have to sign it. Fine - I had already resigned. Still - great way to thank a volunteer.
I think if we gathered Canceled stories together, there would be the most gasp-worthy tales. It’s truly vicious.
“She said ‘Some people complained that you hurt their feelings.”

What a bunch of BS.
Looks like it doesn’t matter if your feelings got hurt.
