Remember that even though the rules of that particular thread do not apply here, the rules of the forum still do. I want civility strictly enforced here.

wow , I go away for a day and come back to this . I said it several times and I will say it again , this is a place to stand up for those who have been harassed , not to debate whether or not they have been harassed . and I have repeatedly stated , as have the mods , that if you want to state your opposition , then feel free to start your own thread

in other words, a safe place.

Then I see disparaging remarks about this being a " safe space "

Because you basically wish to silence in that thread any post on the subject that you wish to disagree with. You said it yourself, we can’t even debate whether or not someone was harassment.

,I can’t see these behaviors as anything but harassment

That is nonsense and nowhere near harassment.

and it seems like some people are reinforcing the case that the issue indeed exists . If this is not toxicity , then I don’t know what is .

It is called people having a different opinion than you. Apparently you think that any post critical of the current Star Wars movies and actors, any post in opposition to how you have limited discussion in your thread, any post critical of anything said by you and other “anti toxic”(for want of better wording) is harassment/toxic. That is silly and ridiculous. I for one have had enough of it.

^ That is not civility. Thread locked.

screams in the void has stated his thread… ‘is a place to stand up for those who have been harassed’ - and so… not for posts critical of the current Star Wars movies and actors - other threads exist for that.
 

It appears to me that you created this thread to have a dig at another member here because you didn’t like the scope of their thread (or maybe his and/or others’ opinions too?) - despite that member encouraging others to create threads on a wider discussion re fan toxicity if they so wished (of which this thread certainly isn’t).

If you don’t like screams in the void’s thread - feel free to ignore it. If you feel you’d like to create a thread with a wider discussion on fan toxicity… go ahead - though please leave digs at other members, and their threads, out of it. Thank you.
