So more ad hominem being dished out (but not by me, but by the "caring" and "tolerant" people, again?), while the straight forward question from myself and @Letters and Numbers remains un-addressed.
And it would be helpful to see the justification given as a final post if a discussion is shut down.
Can we by the way assume that ad hominem to the level used against me and some others is "free for all" to use without any repercussions? Is that the core and spirit of this board of "open" and "tolerant" people? Today it seems to be the way.
At no point did anyone ever say your argument was invalid because of things you cannot control, that is what constitutes an ad hominem attack. You were corrected on a issue and you doubled down on the issue and had a tantrum when you refused to take the L and apologize
Tolerant people have a right to intolerate intolerance

I remember that thread well. At some point, I asked myself, "Why are we here? Just to suffer?" and stopped posting. The thread was locked a few days later.
I have the memory of an ant sometimes especially when it comes to bozos they kinda just merge together into one giant shitstorm in my head. Yeah I remeber that part cause I logged out for a few days came back and it was locked up way after people were done with it

I had to familiarize myself with his thread that got locked, he made generalizations about women, munchies and letters and numbers corrected him and he had a baby boy temper tantrum when I told him to take the L and apologize, sounds like the typical thread that gets locked down some person makes ridiculous claims they get corrected and they double down and refuse to correct themselves.
Dude is just an incel with dumb theories about women

To sum it up, the many interventions by moderators are that some people are "offended" by something, even if it is not personal attacks or denigrating statements?
Alternatively, shut down preventively by moderators before anyone complains?
So discussions are not really discussions, more of somewhat uniform flow of inputs, morally approved, in the "virtues" currently "in fashion" of more conformistic parts of the society? And avoiding to potentially "hurt someone" is consistently more important than discussing the topics? (There are clearly some people that should be more protected than others.)
It is good if the contents of these applied (but not always stated) rules are clear, which they obviously are not, by looking at the numbers of stopped discussions (as I referred to in my initial question).
Again, this is posted as I see that many discussions (that I not posted in) develop in very odd directions.
It’s not that deep bro. This is a place of acceptance for fat bodies not a place to spread nonsense about politics unless it’s about fat issues read the room. This whole anti-woke stuff is hella cringe

I read somewhere that the reason why there’s more “obese” and “overweight” people is that they keep shifting the goal posts for what constitutes overweight and obesity to better skew results so they get more funding for research and to create moral panic about fat bodies, it’s messing up people who are simply a few lbs overweight so they aren’t treated properly by the rigged fatphobic medical industry and sham insurance agencies

Personally, I am immensely turned on by comments about my weight (especially negative ones), but out there in the 'real world', I think it's highly insensitive to make any remarks regarding someone's body, no matter how well-intentioned. One thoughtless utterance can totally ruin someone's day and shatter their self-esteem.
Yet an insane number of people do this habitually every day, and actually see it as some kind of virtue that they are able to speak their mind. As if these actions somehow make them admirable and noble pursuers of the truth, rather than the graceless, ignorant and ill-mannered clods that they are...
The same type of dude to belittle a guy for being heavy is the same type of guy who’d harass women for wearing fun clothes it’s gross and why we can’t have nice things :/

That’s so inappropriate at work and it kinda stinks that there’s no repercussions for behavior like that if it’s a client like what’s your boss gonna do drop him? Doubtful.
