Do you accept that there are rules against being rude and insulting, even when you personally would deem that "speaking plainly"?

Do you accept that there exists real outrage, even when it's outrage over something you don't have a problem with?


Yes and yes. People are allowed to disagree with me, but we're not talking about that, are we. Kevin's messages are the issue, and while reasonable people can disagree about whether he broke the rules or not, when (some of) his accusers insult him in more egregious terms, either they're being disingenuous about their outrage, OR they don't hold themselves to the same standard that they hold other people. Either way it's problematic when they're also "the keepers" of the rules, because it looks like they're abusing their position.


That's not a point. If I steal your wallet out of revenge, you are still a thief. All I changed was that I'm now a thief, too. But it changes absolutely nothing at all about the first theft.



Yes, I understood your point the first time and I agree.
