@mekkaokereke What would you class “a dog pile ostensibly in the name of social justice, by people who are perhaps not part of ‘your community’ but are adjacent to it”? Especially when its based upon either something that you said but entirely decontextualised, or based upon something you didn’t say at all?

There are groups of people, both here and elsewhere, which enjoy employing this exact strategy - ostracising people on the basis of slights imagined or exaggerated. I have seen them referred to as “context collapse cults”, a term I think is quite apt.

They are often full of well meaning people who do not realise what their group has become, but they are very insidious.
