I think we all have a duty to communicate ethically moreso than to communicate clearly.
Uh, the whole point of communication is clarity, otherwise you’re just making noises. Communication requires that the recipient understands the intended message.
Communicating clearly is also important. But communicating ethically is more important. Like most people, I’d rather be called a nice word I don’t know than a homophobic slur I understand perfectly well. Wouldn’t you?

Communicating clearly is fundamental to communicating at all. If it isn’t clear, it isn’t communication.
And my mother said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Communicating ethically is more important than communicating at all.
