My take is that it takes only a small percentage of people to be toxic, for the lack of a better term, for most of the conversation to be toxic. E.g. someone acts inappropriately, then a few people overreact (i.e. follow suit), then whoever isn't interested in thinking in baser terms altogether skips the conversation: ergo, the conversation is dominated by the outraged, divisive minority.
Have you read any thread here on IQ, or immigration, or outsourcing? You can find the most vile, bottom-of-the-barrel opinions there, and the mods don’t give a shit, yet here you have a comment calling out misrepresentation (at best) of facts about eugenics and suddenly dang feels the need to sweep in and tone-police that?
