Threshold for taking down anti disabled posts

Just a plea to @MNHQto clarify if there is a threshold beyond which posts that are clearly ablist and designed to upset disabled people, are removed? Or is it just a free for all?
I am not against debating issues that impact disabled people, but surely posters should not be openly ablist and seek to propagate anti-disabled misinformation. Being disabled is a protected characteristic and we shouldn’t just ignore ableism, in the same way as we shouldn’t ignore racism. In recent days MN has been full of threads about the proposed changes to UC and PIP, and while discussion and debate of these issues is a good thing, so many openly hostile and ablist posts are allowed to stand. I’m just worn down with it, and sad that MNHQ appears unwilling to act.

I agree.
I have seen some awful stuff written about disabled children on here also.
