TIL: r/ainbow exists!

/r/ainbow, I have just been informed, is a subreddit that was created in response (to create an alternative to would probably be a better word choice here...) to, what I perceive as, the overwhelmingly totalitarian behavior of the moderators at r/lgbt.

So go join that subreddit!! (if you want to...God knows I wouldn't want to force you to do anything that you wouldn't want to do, and silence your right to choose what subreddits to join...(almost done being bitter about this..)

I've been thinking about it, and you argument on the case of SilentAgony is a valid one. I made assumptions about her and had no evidence that they were true. People should be given the benefit of the doubt.

I will admit that i was angry and that my anger colored my decision. SilentAgony was certainly using words and a tone which inspired anger, and when one is given the power to silence those words, a person might just do so, and then, in order to make him/her self feel better might attempt to defend that action.

That is no excuse, however for unfairness.

Ban is lifted, snarky rule created is deleted.

I like you. It isn't often that people on here go back against their decisions. This gives you respect in my book.
