    Mod here. This thread devolved and reports were flying around so now it’s gone.

    It was kicked off with the above comment. rainrain asked a question. If we assume the best intentions, it is a reasonable question but it could be interpreted as being hostile.

    Leraje did a good job answering the question in a kind way.

    In general, please approach opposing ideas with curiosity not hostility. We are all on the same team, we are all working together to build a better internet.

          Removing my replies because of “reports” and “because it could be interpreted as hostile” is a bullshit excuse.

          Pretending that Rowling isn’t a favorite hate-fetish of this mob is bullshit too.

          Your feigned obliviousness combined with your willynilly censorship is bullshit.

          You like bullshit.

            You should be able to see all the reports against you here: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=13046809

            I observe two things about your comment.

            1. You have an unpopular opinion of JK Rowling. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to support people with unpopular opinions, like yours.
            2. The comment is written in a way that not only states your opinion but is aggressive towards the other users. In isolation this comment isn’t too bad but in the context of your other comments there is a trend of agression that stirs up more aggression. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to avoid aggression towards users.

            These two points are at odds. I originally removed your comment, you didn’t like that, you sent me a DM, so I tried this approach.

            If you were in my shoes, how would you resolve the conflict created by observations 1 & 2?

              I would leave the comments and allow the clash to occur. We just want to talk honestly and openly. We prefer straightforward conflict to your censorial “fostering”.
