Not much to add here in my defense that hasn’t already been said. This is the perfect application of the “don’t be a jerk” rule: to cover behavior so obviously and unambiguously beyond the pale that we never considered the need to make an explicit rule against it. And it’s not exactly like this came out of the blue. He’d just recently been enjoined from discussing sports-related rape accusations in Game Room threads. Most people would take that as a hint to back off on the subject in general. He decided to double down in a different forum. Needless to say, the OP’s request is refused, and his “compromise” rejected. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-think-miller-was-wrong-to-warn-me-in-this-bbq-pit-thread/732391)._
