While this diary asserts that a contributor was placed on time out because of his diary content, it seems more likely (I do not know) that he was placed on time out because of comments like this one:
As I said in the diary, go fuck yourself. I didn’t give you President Trump. Hillary Clinton and her corrupt insular Democratic party establishment did. You’re NOT going to blame this shit on me. I tried to give us a better choice.
My emphasis.
If you don’t know I’ve long argued (indeed I lost the argument a decade ago) that this should not be the basis of a timeout or a banning. If the community hides it, they hide it. But I disagree with discipline for this by the site itself.
So who’s with me? Let’s change the civility rule — let's make this kind of stuff HIDEABLE but not subject to site discipline. Who’s with me?
