I posted my support of a gray area gloves off board in the relevant thread, but since it's crowded I'm reposting. And correcting a typo that's bugging the shit out of me.
I vote 100% for a "gloves off" area. There are things that are relevant that shouldn't be shut down, but they are triggering and thorny as fuck. I do think we should shut down abuse toward other commenters, but an "at your own risk" side thread would probably be helpful for a lot of people. I know there is a LOT I haven't or feel I can't talk about wrt the abuse I went through because it's in the gray area.
