Does dehumanizing comply with site standards?
Ug. This is an edge case.
This is the kind of case that moderators can spend days discussing. We spend this time talking about the possibility of something being perceived as not nice because we love permies so much and want it to be all inclusive for people who like to talk about
permaculture in a friendly way. When the truth is, we would much rather talk about
permaculture. Or even better, we want to get out there and work on our own
permaculture projects so we have happy stuff to post about on the forums. The result that gives us the warmest fuzzy feeling inside is when the
poster self-moderates and the staff don't have to step in and do anything at all.
Several posts have been removed from this thread. I think we are going to leave the others as teaching aids.
