I'm not sure if you're already gone and I tried to make it as clear as possible that I didn't think you were wrong. I understand this can read as tone policing, I was just asking for you to drop the very final part of your post because the other person didn't directly attack you and could have been coming from a place of ignorance. It's not on you to educate them either. To be clear I wasn't going to take any negative action on you and I didn't remove your post either because I believe both of those would be tone policing. But it's also really hard to have a place where people feel welcome and think it's nice while also explicitly being a safe space- in fact this is proof that for some people it might not work. My read on this person was that they were uninformed, not that they were necessarily attacking you. Their post consisted of nothing more than a question which comes from the ignorance and privilege of never being homeless. Yes, they might be an asshole worthy of scorn, I'm mostly just asking we confirm someone's a Nazi before we start punching.

If you're still around and want to talk in more depth about this let me know. I'm sorry I failed you ๐Ÿ˜”
