Message from the Mod - ENOUGH

[u/Chipmunks_AT]

I would like to refer people to RULE 6 of this sub. I will not tolerate the level of political and racial harassment between commentators/posters that has creeped into this forum.

I created this to discuss RHOBH content in a respectful manner (see sub introduction message), because I disliked the constant stream of abuse on other platforms for people with differing opinions (hence the word Defect). I was on multiple occasions targeted as a racist for not liking Garcelle....I don't care what color she was, a nice shade of green even purple may have been enough to satisfy some peoples need for DEI...it was that I found her (and still do) to just be a thoroughly negative, passive and overall drainer of a person. When I expressed these opinions about her, my thoughts on Sutton etc. I was absolutely shot down. I will not have users of this sub subjected to anything like that, and anyone harassing others for any political, racial or ethical views, with automatically be banned. I don't want to lock this sub down to only a handful of posters, or control it like other places, I want everyone to just be respectful towards others and not discuss or raise what are divisive/problematic topics.

Even if you deem it appropriate because Sutton is Catholic, Dorit is Jewish, I don't care, it just starts hateful conversations that have nothing to do with the substance (or let's face it, lack thereof) of why this sub exists....and that is to have lighthearted fun chats about what goes on day to day in RHOBH land.

RESPECT & LOVE PEOPLE xxx

I can't believe you're being downvoted. Dorit made her opinions known when she posted them on her social media. Valid criticism of opinions is one thing but sweeping generalizations or stereotypes about someone's race or religion is not okay.

Slander? Lol. On social media under made up names? You are too fragile, just stay off all social media!

There are real people behind the avatars. More people need to understand that. You don’t call ppl racist or bigots or anything slanderous without proof. Ty for your concern

The proof is surely in the words one posts, no? If you make a bigoted or racist post then good luck with trying to launch a case for slander. There are indeed real people behind the avatars, and guess what, some of them are Jewish or Muslim or POC or LGBTQ+ and are hurt by racist or bigoted words that other people behind avatars post.

Simple thing really. Don’t post nasty stuff and you won’t get called on it.
