I thought, 2shoes, that they said that the OP had many good things about them but that on this they wholeheartedly disagreed. But the op was not, to them, a 100% horrible evil person with not one redeaming feature.
I understand that deleting is probably more about knowing that MNHQ feel that anti-disabled threads and comments are just as unacceptable as sexist or racist threads and comments but I for one don't think things like this - or racism, or sexism etc should be deleted. Because to me it does nothing. If the thread is deleted will we all forget it? Will none of us remember what was said? Will we think that nobody holds such views?
When I was a kid me and my friends used to 'take back' - if we'd had a fight or said something horrible, we'd "take it back" and we'd all pretend that it hadn't been said.
But it had.
And pretending it hadn't was pointless.
You know?
Some people are horrible, say horrible things, have opinions that hurt us. They do and we can't hide from that. We can try to become harder, that's all we can do. If we're feeling strong enough, or feel like it we can give our opinion and try to educate them, or if not them, then other people who might be reading.
I do think however that MNHQ should see all forms of discrimination and bigotry the same way. So if it is policy to delete racism, sexism etc (which as I said I personally disagree with) then they should delete anti-disabled remarks as well.
