(30,481 posts)1Strong, DSB, and Bravenak have never called me names or insulted me in times we have disagreed. It has always been positive discussion. Sucks that they are doing this to the best that DU has to offer. I know you aren't discussing your hides in any way but the harassment on this board has changed posting patterns of those abused, insulted, and hurt the most.
We lose when this happens. I use to read many more ops in GD about social justice and race issues facing us today. The ops brought personal knowledge, nuance, and insight that is desperately needed. Fewer ops like that because of the exact toxicity you are mentioning while ops as offensive as the Stockholm one increase in number and are applauded louder. It's flat out painful to watch and we are suffering for it.
