Okay, folks. We have trodden this same ground multiple times now.
Please remember that you are having this discussion in a public forum, and while some readers agree with you there are also many who don’t, and who are not enjoying a discussion that too often gets uncomfortably close to personal attacks on specific writers, uses loaded terms like “degenerate” and can feel unfriendly and judgemental about those who have different preferences and views.
We all have a right, within forum rules, to express our personal views even when they make others uncomfortable but there’s a point at which going over the same points turns into spam and lack of due respect for fellow forum members.
Can I ask everyone to consider before posting again whether they are actually saying anything new, and whenever they post to remember to keep it friendly, constructive and open to different perspectives? Thanks!
I’m not feeling that this is being heeded, and in fact things seem to be getting more unfriendly and attacking. Please, everyone, don’t import beefs from elsewhere to these forums and try to keep things here light and tolerant of different perspectives or I’ll need to give this thread a timeout to ensure that people have time to take on board moderation guidance.
