(63,425 posts)Calling someone "outraged" is typically an attempt to distract from the discussion at hand. The hope is that the accused will waste time defending against that accusation instead of maintaining focus. Since I am not outraged, the charge is meaningless to me, so I have no need to defend against it.
Having said that, NYC_SKP used a term that he knew was in violation of the TOS, so we must trust that he was aware of the likely consequences and respect his decision to post his message anyway.
And calling it the "mark of the devil" is a bit hyperbolic. We're not talking about some faint blemish on an elbow; we're talking about a clear and unambiguous use of a term that NYC_SKP knew to be offensive and contrary to the TOS, and which he used to refer to a likely Democratic nominee. If that qualifies as a witch hunt in your estimation, then you set a very low bar.
