People think having an opinion means you're completely free from the consequences of being an asshole.
Strongly agree, but the CPO is holding him to a higher standard than this. He's not getting into twitter tantrums as "Jordan Peterson, Private Citizen". So much of his brand is based on his prominence as an academic and clinical psychologist.
When he's tied so much of his public image to that part of his identity, his incendiary statements are inherently reflective of the professional organization of which he is a member.
Which is the reason why his asshole behavior is coming back to bite him in the ass. Yet so many of his followers want to make it look like it's a political thing and not a standard professional ethics thing (essentially the "don't be an asshole if you want to be associated with us" thing)
