Sisyphus: If The Bigot’s Shoe Fits …

I don’t envy your job as moderator DFO. But I question the zapping of posts that utilize descriptive terms that people or things have earned. I mean that if bigot can be defined as one who perpetuates negative stereotypes, once that has been established its just easier to type five letters than to repeatedly justify the use of the word. But I also see where that could be pejorative and subjective. It may detract from civility but so can facially questionable assertions based upon wrongful innuendo. I know at least one gay blogger who was so offended by Clayton’s diatribe that he became too emotional to engage and I wonder how you as moderator address his concerns, especially the use of questionable statistics to paint a negative picture of all gay people. Its a fine line from enforcing civility to censorship. Again I don’t envy you/ Sisyphus . More here
