This entire thread has become a test case where we watch as the absolute practical limits of "we will not moderate positions" creak and shudder and build up pressure and want to utilize the defacto release valves very clearly being used to keep the idea functional

Fluffdaddy posted:As I told Koos privately, there are limits to what is a position that can be tolerated. If this means that we've officially dropped the concept where any concept can be argued as long as it's in "good faith" then good. It wasn't ever actually true in practice — mods and IKs would get around it by hovering very carefully with a fine tooth comb for anyone who was promoting wretched ideas and drop them on any narrow pretense, but the rules-around-the-rules alleviation was still vulnerable to someone wanting to drop hot mess in by playing the decorous sealionesque and arguing stridently yet politely in favor of some horrid poo poo like race cleansing or bring back slavery or gay conversion therapy or the holocaust never happened or the uyghurs deserved it or whatever, and I think that's how we got this for as long as we got it
