Basically it’s saying you can’t engage in vigorous debate without calling someone a derogatory slur, and you need to justify whatever you like to use.
It’s frustrating because there are times when the differing thoughts and perspectives on here can really be thought provoking. Other times it seems like I’m just reading school aged bickering and name calling.

I agree we shouldn't call someone we disagree with a troll.
However, if there actually is a troll, then it is OK to call them out on it.
Its like I don't think you should call someone a Nazi if you disagree with them. However, I think its perfectly fine to call someone a Nazi if they are one.
FYI: There is someone in this thread that is CLEARLY trolling, and they're wearing a jersey with the number 19 on it.
