As I said, the intent is not to play devil’s advocate, but to better understand your point of view. It’s difficult for me to empathise with you if I’m only told about these incidents exist, without ever experiencing one.

And we hit that point again this year, well done 😃

Honestly, I feel like these threads push people away more than anything else so far. It’s sad that while they tend to be started with good intentions, the results seem to go the other way.
EDIT: this is just a note. I do not have a solution, I’m afraid. The topic is inherently very political, so it’s difficult.
