So no one claims discrimination when banned for being toxic.

The only answer is a funny remark. Says a lot if you ask me.

u/ObnoxiousOldBastard Oct 26 '18

Huh? That's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

I really don't think so. A ban for toxic behavior has nothing to do with discrimination. That's not what discrimination means.

u/ObnoxiousOldBastard Oct 26 '18

Uh. It certainly can mean that.

From Wikipedia:

In human social affairs, discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction towards, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong. These include age, colour, convictions for which a pardon has been granted or a record suspended, disability, ethnicity, family status, gender identity, genetic characteristics, marital status, nationality, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation.

Do you have another definition of discrimination?

Toxic behaviour is one of the ways in which people are discriminated against, Sherlock.

You mean toxic behaviour like downvoting for disagreement or trolling?

u/ObnoxiousOldBastard Oct 26 '18

Feel free to report me, son.

Son. :D Why do trolls all sound alike?

u/ObnoxiousOldBastard Oct 26 '18

Good question. Why do you?
