>>14834196I want to ask you, calmly and respectfully, to stop using language like that toward me. Even if you meant it as a joke or provocation, it comes across as hostile and demeaning, and it’s not something I’m willing to engage with.
Words like those carry a lot of harm, whether intended or not. They target entire groups of people and contribute to an environment where others feel disrespected or unsafe. Using them doesn’t make a point stronger or a conversation more interesting—it just shuts things down.
I’m open to disagreement or conversation if it’s done with basic respect, but I’m not okay with being insulted. Please keep things civil going forward. That’s all I’m asking.
