…from the Elliot Page thread:
The kind of “casual swipe” that was moderated here in this instance was the kind of casual swipe that had been normalized to a great extent here. Making this sort of thing no longer acceptable is definitely the way for the boards to go IMHO. I do have my opinions on the general debate (about what should be allowed to be debated), but I don’t want my voice to drown out the opinions of the transgender posters here, who I think really need to be heard on the subject.
I personally would like to see (at least) this sort of moderating applied throughout the board. Thank you puzzlegal for the moderation and Whats_Exit (and the rest of the moderators) for facilitating this discussion here.
