There are a dozen or so locked threads that were locked because people got abusive and demeaning toward touchy concepts/subjects. They are there, monuments to how fervently awful some of us can be. Monuments to a few other issues too, but this isn't the time and place for that. Yet. Saying that it did not happen doesn't make it go away. Our solution should be to stare at it in all it's terrible, horrific glory and in doing so find resolve that we can do better than that. We can change the equation and see that it does not happen again.
I would love for you to provide a single link showing where these abusive or demeaning posts were directed at the original poster in the thread. Because while I've seen spats between other posters, I've never seen it directed at anyone who was just asking a question. If I had, I would be the first person to post, "Hey, what the hell, back the hell up!"
