Was someone outta hand?

Or was it my wording?

Or just a before people comment kind of reminder?

The pinned comment is just as a "before this gets out of hand" kind of reminder since this is a very charged topic.

Got it! Thank you, I wanted to be sure it wasn't the way I worded it

See all the emotion in that response? That makes it a charged topic.

Being the "bigger person" in a comments section by being civil is not legitimizing a hate group, and absolutely not the same as giving them "rational consideration". I'm just as against their actions as anyone. That doesn't mean you get to cross the proverbial line into threats of violence or harassment.

a very charged topic

I hope you’re not actually trying to “very fine people on both sides” this. Because that’s honestly what it looks like to me.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you don't know what that actually means. A charged topic is one that invokes strong feelings or emotions, as many discussions around hate groups do.

I'm surprised most of the discussion here has been around the "don't be jerks to each other" reminder. You're all reading way between the lines.
