21. In the long run, it doesn't matter whether any of us think it was justified or not...

All that matters with DU3, and all that can affect things is what the hosts of the LGBT group think when it comes to whether the blocking was justified or not. Anyone responsible for nasty call-outs and attacks and thinks they're being clever is deluding themselves as even if a jury doesn't vote to hide, people reading are forming opinions, and mine is that it reflects poorly on them and not the person they attack..

I hope when things have cooled down that the hosts consider lifting the block, and that any decision would be made only based on her posts in the LGBT forum, now group, and doesn't become about whether one host thinks she sucks because they don't like her in the gungeon, or whether another just doesn't like what she posts elsewhere at DU, because that would be making it personal, and I have faith that the hosts wouldn't do that...

But what I actually came in here to say after reading yr post was if you'd subscribed to the LGBT group and got value from reading it, please don't let this change things. The LGBT community at DU is just like any other, and just like everywhere else at DU there's mainly really good people, but there's also a few who are struggling with the advice given in the last line of the TOS; 'Remember: DU is supposed to be fun — don't make it suck.' Don't let the way those few behave turn you away from the many more good people in that group. There's many LGBT DUers who are feminists (not talking about self-professed 'feminists' who have no problems with women being exploited and trotted out like bits of meat in those lame 'beauty pageants'), and the few who aren't are a small but vocal minority who should be ignored...
