antirealist admin dislikes flippanarchy's incivility

FlipAnarchy: Insults don't belong in rules: Rule 7 is ... different. The tone of this rule is a lot angrier than the rest, and it being the last, it’s easy to imagine that it was written in haste after the community mod became frustrated by posts that didn’t break the rules, but weren’t welcome. I think it’s time to give this rule another pass to polish it up to the same spec as the other rules.

This rule reads as angry, and defensive, and targeted at a particular idea of a rulebreaker in the moderator’s head. What are the boundaries of the rule as they apply to people who don’t fit this idea? Anarchists like Myself, who are not electoralist, but are pro-voting?

So this rule should be changed in one of two ways: It should either be reworded to stop insulting anarchists and make it clear that this is a point the moderator is unwilling to compromise on, OR it should be revised to only target neoliberals, and allow us anarchists to speak freely on this debate.

Until one of those two changes is made, the rule is currently abusing moderator authority to present a personal opinion, controversial within the community, as the only truth of anarchism. And that’s not very anarchist.
