Also silly because it’s such a small ask, it’s not like she is saying trolls are getting a free pass here, she’s just saying “hey we’re not gonna allow you to be the judge, jury, and executioner in the comments because that kind of diatribe is literally the stuff this community is designed to minimize—we ask you to just disengage completely (or find a workaround) rather than open the floodgates for more of the same discussion and abuse that our users deal with every day. If you suspect real trolling or damage, just report them and our crack team of mods will deal with it in a way that doesn’t involve any misgendering or harassment.”

First of all, thanks to you folk for allowing me to walk in and have a look around.

Yes - it seems such a simple ask. Play by the rules; or don’t play at all.

A few people I work with occasionally had real problems in this field. I discovered that calling a Portuguese Spanish, Bangladeshis Indian and Poles German soon focused their minds on accuracy of language. I’m an (adopted) Welsh person and have spent about two percent of my entire life explaining that I’m not English. I suppose it’s a parable of sorts…
