@Frankenbeans that makes sense. I can see how that would be problematic.

I guess the talk I’ve seen wouldn’t necessarily lead to that conclusion, though it is a possible outcome. I’ve seen talk of agreeing on a CoC and working together when a “bad” instance persists in acting poorly, which doesn’t have lead to what you mentioned above.

Bottom line for me: why can’t people who want a safe space to interact have one? That seems to be the heart of it, and I hate that it seems impossible.
