I finally created an account just to say what a compassionate and well articulates response this is.

I feel so grateful when I get well articulates criticism because most people will not expense the energy to tell me why I’m wrong so when someone cares enough to do so its like a gift.

I was feeling like it was not a great thing to say either but wasn’t sure how to articulate it.

I agree, it’s not about policing what you think about these individuals it’s about not perpetuating a kind of toxic pattern into the public sphere.

It’s also true that most people will neither comment nor up/down vote and simply scan comments and form opinions. Thanks for taking the time to meaningfully reply.
