Reply to comment by leftous in I was banned from /f/lobby because of a comment i made, here's my explanation (and apology) by dele_ted

The reason I wanted this to move to mediation was because I don't want this conversation happening in the lobby. Mediation is supposed to be a more forgiving space than others on this site and it's not clear to me that what's happening isn't a ToS violation, so I'd rather it was cleared up here in this context.

RIP sleep

I see what you mean. I still think they should have a chance to explain their posts if they feel they were misunderstood, though. Especially considering they are established good faith users. Anyone who comes across that will have an unfair view of them based on the outraged responses.

They did get a chance, in f/mediation, where their queerphobic opinions can get aired for resolution, instead of the safer-from-ToS-violations space that is the rest of raddle.

To be clear, I think even this apology is queerphobic. That's what I preempted when I opted to move it to mediation.

Fair point

Queerphobic? I am a pansexual transgirl with male and female partners. I would struggle to be more LGBT. I simply think nobody should be insulted for how they are born, not that it is equivalent.

To be perfectly clear, I am not queerphobic, and i hold no queerphobic opinions. I don't get how you've come to that conclusion.
