Back when I was active on Usenet it was considered pretty normal to have house rules for any newsgroup, you were also expected to refrain from posting long enough to notice and learn the unspoken customs (this was called "lurking").
Nowadays people see it as an orchestrated attack against free speech, shout references to 1984, and threaten to move elsewhere.
Yet the ones asking us all to behave politely are called "hypersensitive"?
Tell someone to play nice these days and half of 'em will lash back at you with "Beta cuck fascist, what's the mater, you need a safe space?" or worse. It's like empathy is utterly alien to these guys (and it's almost slways guys)....
