Hubski is one of the few places where something like this is even a possibility. It was pretty upsetting to see the shitstorm that took place a few days ago. Making a statement about it is important, in my eyes, because this place is special and keeping it special means speaking out when unacceptable abuses come spilling onto our feeds. You can't necessarily make the idiots disappear, but at least you can say, "Hey, I'm on your side, even if that doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot." Keeping this community enjoyable to a diverse group of people is the only way we're going to get to see those viewpoints. Without those people speaking for themselves, and knowing that they matter to us, we're left to guess at what their perspectives might be. We all lose in that case.
