I am speaking as a moderator. This thread is getting overheated in terms of language that could get Jon in trouble, since he is responsible for site content. It is time to cool it down and I mean NOW.
This is not a USA-hosted site. It is a privately-hosted site in the UK and subject to their new laws, specifically the Online Safety Act (passed in 2023, taking effect in July, 2025), which deals with many factors. The relevant issue for this thread is "harmful content" which can include hateful speech. The management of AWF now has a legal duty to protect others from potentially harmful content. This thread is in some danger of getting to that point. EVERYONE who is in this forum, be aware that your behavior is out for everyone to see. This is not a public, wide-open site. It has limits that we must observe if we want this resource to remain available.
