I agree that this little bit of the world does not have to be like that and for many years it was not.

I don't question the many attempts to achieve this are (largly) well-intentioned but this end is not something that can be imposed.

If our forum is to be a place where all posters can feel safe to contribute - then the only way this can be acheived and the the only way it was once achieved is by the example set.
