The discussion was so toxic that Discourse automatically locked it down due to the number of posts being flagged. We decided to not reopen it again because clearly the community has shown to currently not be able to discuss such topics in a civilized matter. (Note that this is not the first time this happens either)

Moderation capacity doesn’t grow on trees, and that peope abused the flagging feature to get posts they disliked with hidden did not help either.
