Dude, he clearly tried to tar me as a "defender of racism" when in fact the only thing I was defending was civil discourse. That's not okay.
If we're all allowed to call each other pieces of #### and the like now because we don't agree with what someone else thinks about a particular issue, or how they've expressed, it, fine. As long as the rules are clear and everyone's playing by the same ones, we can proceed. But I don't think that sort of discourse is, in fact, "what we need right now", as Jiri put it in his post.
