-If you act or talk in a way that someone thinks is inappropriate, it is inappropriate. If somebody tells you that you are making them uncomfortable, distressed or intimidated then you must stop making them uncomfortable, distressed or intimidated. Do not ever put your opinions or desires before the comfort of others. There is never an excuse for behaviour that makes anyone else feel unwelcome or targeted. If you feel compelled to tell someone who is uncomfortable, distressed or intimidated that they are wrong to feel that way, you are in the wrong.
