...you and I both know it was about harassment. It wasn't disagreement over politics. It wasn't over eliminating opposition. It was over a few people who happened to sport the same icon you do, banding together to constantly pester people. It was not just that one person who was the target, it was several.

Just calling a spade a spade, man. It's only no big deal, and a non-issue to those who are the primary instigators.

Let’s stop pretending this is about harassment. It has never truly been about eliminating harassment.

In these instances, did the report abuse function work?

There are people who try really hard to snipe, but just stay on the other side of the rules line.

I know what you are saying but if you report abuse and post the links I would think it would cross the rules line.

You’re talking a specific case. I’m speaking in general.

As TNT says, "uncorrect."

I'm not buying it. Ignore/reporting is more than enough to prevent bullying.

IOW - What Ash said above. Except explained WAY better.

except, that's not what it's primarily about, like I countered, and I have several instances to back up that opinion.
