I don’t think you intended your response to @anon73430903 to be as glib as it reads, as my impression of you as a poster is that you show empathy and compassion.
There are members of the BBS who have direct, lived experience with how so-called “allies” have been abusive, even dangerous, to vulnerable people. @anon73430903 even cited many historical examples. It continues to this day. It’s not just history to them; it’s current affairs.
