He described her developing breasts and expressed his desire to be dating her. ---

I would have done even less. As long as Trump and his daughter are not members here, then personal attacks on them, no matter how repugnant, don’t seem to violate any rules. ---

Get this, Quartz: we are not here to enforce your personal sense of decorum. I haven’t consulted the others, but I’m pretty certain I speak for all of us when I say that I disagree that threads should stay viable and open under the vast, VAST majority of cases. Your own distaste - which I may share - is not sufficient reason for violating that principle. ---

Your own distaste - which I may share - is not sufficient reason for violating that principle. I did even less. I saw the report, read the post, and concluded while I personally wouldn’t engage in such discussion, it’s not a violation of any rule. It’s crude, but really, much worse has been said here and virtually everywhere. Again, my first inclination before moderating is to determine if there was a rule that was violated. I stopped at that step. ---
