I personally believe nobody should use any of those terms, and have always believed nobody should use any of those terms, but the uneven enforcement of everything relating to political stance, pretty much across the internet, is ... let's call it disappointing. I am disappointed in humanity.

Than again, I looooooooooove that there is a Politics section here and I can just choose not to visit it. If I were locked out, I'd never know.

Differential enforcement is the new norm as you pointed out. It is, however, a self correcting problem. I’m shaking my fist at the internet in 1940’s voice and saying, “when I become a minority why I oughta…”
