You sure got a lot of context out of “they certainly don’t hate them enough to chase them away when they are smoking meth on the train”. I don't think that was a great thing to say (not that it is not an issue and needs to be addressed) but instead of even trying some level of communication or rebuttal it seems like everyone just went full "reactionary" on them.

There is no "sense for this time of debatebro" or ability to see enough text to pull from that one sentence a sentence of endless fascism (or whatever problematic box). They have every right to get upset and go around other instances, because yours banned them. I have not seen a lot of humility here from anyone involved but what gets me is that some people think they get all the rights but others don't.

Yes it does matter whether they live in LA or not as in one case they could be relating an actual experience they had and the other would be them spinning a web. In once case you could do some good and engage and for the other prove they where wrong and acting in bad faith.

Thank you for being a voice of reason MooPoo. I apologize if my original comment came off as callous and insensitive. I heavily sympathize with the plight of the homeless and my only problem is with those who can be a danger to themselves or others, especially in an enclosed area like a train. TBH I sympathize with ideologies that are beyond left of the American Overton window since I'm quite familiar with what Western countries have done to suppress them. Thanks for pointing out how they were the ones being reactionary without so much as giving a warning before the ban.

Nakoichi, I don't expect you to unban me from your community but I hope we can at least understand each other enough to not see us as enemies.

Thank you for apologizing and not turning out to be a total asshat as that would have been awkward.

(leaving this space in case ass is worn like hat in the future)
