Re: Why the first and not the second? by Vested Id 01/31/2020, 5:25pm PST
Thank you for asking

The first post is racism from some unknown person online.

The second is 1) same thing, or 2) someone reacting to a post, in this case to being told what to do.

If you have these anonymous antisemitic posts showing up all the time, you really have a duty to do something about it, so that it doesn't keep happening, and give people the wrong impression about what this forum is about.

In the second case, you have a reason to have grace, which you should grant, because sticks and stones etc.. It can definitely get to an "enough!" point, which is subjective, but not that subjective. A community should have a sense for when someone has crossed the line, and that should be met so the more easily-agitated members don't end up going nuts and demanding crackdowns. IMO the posts in question didn't clearly cross that line, but who knows where it would have gone if Eury and the others didn't go nuts. (Inability to appreciate Princess Highground — a work of prophecy — is a failed character test.)
