@david@mstdn.ything.xyz @aurynn @maegul This is *dangerously* close to the argument that you should allow bigots to exist in your spaces, because "otherwise they go underground where you can't see them". In practice, that policy just puts people in harm's way with no benefit to the community.

People are not shunned for carelessly building something either. They are shunned for doing so *and then refusing to take a step back* when it is pointed out to them that it is not acceptable.

If one feels so both willing and able to knowingly violate people's boundaries, then they *shouldn't* be allowed into our communities. Their behaviour certainly shouldn't be condoned, or tacitly permitted under the excuse of "oh well it was gonna happen anyway".
