Slash i gotta disagree. You guys know it doesn't matter how minor something is. When it's constant, it creates an environment you don't want to be in. This is middle-school tier bullshit. It's like if every time you walked down the hall a few kids yelled "SHOES" at you and then pointed at your shoes. Like yeah, its minor, it doesn't mean anything. And if it didn't bother the kid, then it's harmless.

The issue is that, based on what i've heard, they were asked to stop. And they didn't. And the result of that was someone felt like they didn't want to be part of this community, and how is that not fucking sad?

I don't see what's so difficult about the concept of consent to some of you.

Ribbing is cool, that's just how some people choose to be. In every LR I've been in, there's a fair amount of ribbing, not the least of which is coming from me. But when people ask me to stop, I stop. Because after that, we're not having fun together. After that, it's having fun at someone else's expense.

I literally does not matter how minor the harassment is, or if it's "just annoying" or "just a react". Again, we learned this shit in middle school. It is baffling how this has to be explained to actual full grown adults.

Now yes, everyone here can now produce Comedy Gold™ by saying "omg I'm harassed" at every negative response to their posts, because they have the mental maturity of an 8th grader and the reasoning skills of a drunk toddler. Come the fuck on. You know what you're doing.

We all know where the line is. Some of us don't, that's where HO steps in. Behold, the new line. Don't be an asshole to people and you'll be fine. It's really that simple.
