(37,112 posts)How could anyone, even your peers, possibly disagree with you on what is and is not insulting?
Well, I have noticed in our times that there are people who can find statements of facts as an insult, but hopefully most of us avoid it.
Myself, I rather like the jury system. I seldom find it necessary however to alert on anyone, because the MIRT team, another expression of consensus rules does an excellent job keeping the most egregious posters off the site.
An administration that is open to consensus is a good one, but certainly some rules are well advised.
I certainly agree that a rule against applauding rape would be a good one.
When I'm on a jury, or when it is my privilege to serve on MIRT, I rule against any expression of violence. Rape anywhere by anyone at any time in any place is not funny.
I had occasion in my life to have had to fight off a rape as a young man, and the experience was terrifying. At least I was free and could escape, but where one is confined it must be triply horrible.
