The moderator absolutely must not tolerate any form of bigotry, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religious based bigotry.
The moderator must guarantee a hard line stance against such bigotry, and must guarantee that participating purveyors of bigotry will not be tolerated, and they will be permanently banned, or exiled from the forum.
I ask in good faith that when the time comes, anyone wanting to see the creation of a new forum, please adopt and demand this basic litmus test of the mods. Bigotry has no place in our society, because it leads to exactly what happened in Charlottesville Virginia over the weekend.
