To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously 😛.

What’s the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that’s the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.

Edit: I’m not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.

      You’re not being tolerant by letting people say mean things. You can say different mean things right back to them.

      Free speech works both ways.

        I disagree. Saying certain things are hate crimes, and shouldn’t be allowed. Like burning crosses, etc.

        Deciding where to draw the line is difficult and subjective, but that doesn’t mean that it’s best to have no line.
