Please use this post for discussion of those contentious, murky, triggering issues too complex to discuss/moderate on the main post.

Note that this post is NOT a free-for-all and will still be modded for slurs, namecalling, doxxing and trolling. But fair warning that it will not be moderated for discussion of issues some find triggering (trans issues, mental illness, etc.) and that if you choose to participate here, you do so at your own risk.

The only part of your post I will pick at is this bit "TB will call out a bunch of anons" - I really don't even think it is a bunch of anons! I think TB had a problem with a few comments, made by an unknown but not terribly large number of anons. Impossible to tell exactly on an anon meme.

I think TB got it wrong on a couple of fronts, but tarring everyone in a large community with the same brush ruffles my feathers particularly. (Tar + feathers = mixed metaphor, or perfect metaphor? Did it accidentally, leaving it on purpose.) I know they don't like to be lumped in indiscriminately with "Andy Awareness" bloggers as if they are one entity.

This, and I say this as an anon who wanted Meg to feel welcomed here and said so.

That's a good point. Without being a mod, there's no way to know for sure how many people were in those threads and there's something wrong with painting a whole community with one brush. (Perfect metaphor, btw! :)
