As long as we can have the discussion, I feel like we can kinda snake by without any bans here. We need to be vigilant about this type of stuff in the future. Get a consensus plan documented ITT and use it going forward.

I know that this is very serious, but in the interest of brevity (since you all know what I mean) this situation is an opportunity to appreciate the :volcel-police: culture on the site.

I'm incredibly thankful that this isn't something that transpired between two people on this site, cause it could easily happen in a lot of online spaces and really fuck shit up. II think it's a bit harder of an environment here for that sort of thing to pop up, and I think we should keep it that way.

It's also worth reflecting upon in offline interactions. Let's do good things for people in our community and not get distracted by all kinds of "fucking" drama. Easy for me to say, but sure, I have my own issues that hold me back (we can get into drug and alcohol use etc... as well). Just saying the post has me reflecting and writing some neo-Maoist comradely wisdom into my "Little Red Book 2nd Edition". Maybe it's trash anyway.

The venue

I think that sauna's and bathhouses are pretty underrated among many Western cultures. It's a nearly universally wonderful and calming environment for all, and is a great gathering place for the introverted and sober who may feel like they lack options.

It can be quietly social with an opportunity to mill about or passively participate in a conversation as you may prefer. Even if you don't want to get in the heat, you could enjoy a pot of tea in the building alongside everyone else. People are unclothed (or nearly unclothed, per their personal preference), which really puts everyone on the "same level" so to speak.

Anyway, come on in, have a seat, enjoy !
