That one specific case was also essentially fixed by reporting to the mods, and for that one poster rising above the fray and letting jabs roll off their back. And guess what? It worked! Far fewer jabs.
The “harassing” you mention has been addressed with the ignore button and the mods FOR YEARS.
But our society has shown us that it is apparently not enough to ignore opposition, or rise above immaturity.
Now we must completely eradicate those that disagree with us! So, mirroring society, those people are no longer content to just ignore the person and rise above some immature moron’s ribbing, oh heck no.
Now it’s about creating an echo chamber of those who believe exactly like you do and silencing anyone who dares believe differently than you do.
