The flag stuff was at the end of this. When someone posted the candidate’s photo, I felt it wasn’t out of place to make an observation. I know those sorts of threads tend to get somewhat wild, but I think this was an example of a mod being quick on the trigger.
Re: the inconsistency, I’m glad to say not petty enough to keep records of such perceived actions. I noted a couple of them after I was told I was too Pitty in a thread I tried to start about Brittany Griner. And then later, another thread was started asking why there was no thread on the topic. Around that time, I perceived a couple of other threads that either set forth their premises aggressively, or that simply raised an issue hoping for a discussion, without sufficiently setting forth a debate position.
If that is the position, I think it should be stated VERY clearly. Over the past while I have been trying - and generally succeeding - in modifying my thoughts and actions in several respects. Te world has indeed changed. But that doesn’t mean that I feel EVERY expressed sensitivity warrants changing policy. I’m a big fan of people using words to discuss their disagreement.
