    The post on Mastodon has a screenshot of the post edit history:

    Screenshot of a forum post, showing the versions before and after an edit. The sentence "I am queer, I am technically a furry too" was edited into "I am technically a furry too"

    And a copy-pasted response from a moderator (the most relevant bit):

    So in my opinion, if your intention was to show political support for diversity, you should avoid using this flag. This will allow us to refuse the use of a flag for instance saying ‘non-queer’, If we allow your flag, then we have to admit also other similar political flags, both supporting and opposing diversity.

      “If we allow your flag, then we have to admit also other similar political flags, both supporting and opposing diversity.”

      Consider the following: no, they don’t.

          Sure, up to the point where they harass someone or attack them, or have a history of doing so. A belief of “I think some people do not deserve to exist” is different from a belief of “People should be allowed to X” or “People who Y should not be harassed”. A nazi sympathizer who thinks nazis shouldn’t be attacked is fine, a nazi who attacks others is not.

              I agree in principle, but you’re not going to win any battles with that mindset. They’ll just respond with “so much for the tolerant left”. Victimization is a beloved pastime for them.

                A brick is approaching a Nazi’s teeth from an initial distance of 10m horizontally and a velocity of 10m/s. You may assume the absence of air resistance and treat the brick as a point mass.

                Calculate the initial angle(s) required to remove the most teeth and determine whether the Nazi can complain about the tolerant left before a brick removes their ability to speak.

                  This response is entirely unhelpful. Yes. Fuck nazis. I get it. This adds nothing. Nazis are bad, but we must coexist with them, lest we round them all up and get rid of them, which isn’t gonna happen. If it were that easy, we’d have done it already!

                    We may have to coexist with them from a logistical standpoint but we do not have to tolerate them. The paradox of tolerance is that we must not tolerate the intolerant.
