Gretchen Koch 19 October at 22:52 ... Adam Bates said a thing that applies to so much right now. Anyone interested in building and/or managing a community of any kind needs to hear this and take it to heart: "You can say 'all are welcome, but if wolves and sheep are both welcome then you're only going to get wolves. The the smart sheep will go somewhere else and the naive sheep will be eaten and processed. If you welcome Islamophobes and Muslims then you'll get Islamophobes. If you welcome Klan members and people of color then you'll get Klan members. If you welcome nativists and immigrants you'll get nativists. Refusing to choose is a choice. It's a choice in favor of the people who prey on others and who refuse to acknowledge the humanity of those they hate."
