    I received a few reports on the conversations in this thread, and although heated and certainly divisive, seems to remain civil, and thus I haven’t taken any action.

    Please remember to mention the rule broken when reporting content, and although I encourage you to keep reporting content you believe violates the rules, avoid reporting content simply because you disagree with it (unless it’s a topic explicitly banned by the rules).

    I am proud of the level of civility you were able to retain even in very divisive topics. I encourage open conversation without hostility, and disagreeing is part of conversation. You can even agree to disagree, and some topics may have no right answer, and / or more research may be needed to decisively answer a question.

      Hah, thanks. The original discussion thread I linked in my first reply was full of differing opinions on that topic but everyone was approaching it from a “this works for me but you do you” angle. I’m disappointed and apologize the same topic under this post was so inflammatory. That wasn’t even what the post was about.

      Edit: Oh, I replied to this from the inbox but am now realizing this was addressed to the room :facepalm:.

        Hahah no biggie! I think me using the royal “you” may have felt more personal than it should have been and came off as a PM in the interface

        Thanks for posting! Don’t worry about it, netizens love to argue, and I’m guilty of starting a few flame wars myself 😅
