I have been on TOTV since its beginning and throughout all those years, I never reported a thread. But that has changed — and I don’t like it. I flagged this one early, very early.
Yet, here we are, past 100 posts, most of which are some seriously ugly stuff.
And, yes, I also saw the one you mentioned. But I would not be surprised if the one who posted it is still among us. There was a time though when that would have meant an instant banning.
Btw, accepting though I am and a kind soul, too, I do not think transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. I think that because it is not fair competition and because my common sense tells me so.
That being said, I do not think hate-mongering is ever acceptable. And the subject at hand invited that and the spewing has been allowed to continue.
There is a pattern lately of certain posters being allowed to really push the envelope — actually it’s turned into more than that — it goes beyond. I do not understand why this is happening. But it is continuing to be the bent of TOTV.
(And I need to stop deluding myself that it will get better around here.)

sorry Boomer -
DO NOT blame the 'messenger'....OP.
I felt this would be a very topical and interesting Thread. So (as usual) some responders push the envelope and vent their strong personal opinions. OF COURSE if some of these are offensive, personal, or abuse ToTV rules - DELETE and WARN, or worse, the OFFENDERS. But "destined to go down a road"??? ANY Thread can do this if some responders take it that way...
But to (often) state that the THREAD & OP is the 'problem' - is offensive to me.
So, if some abuse the rules or are offensive -
do not allow others to provide their views on a good topic???
If you do have issues with "ugly stuff" flag it to the Mods - and if you are still dissatisfied email THEM.
But to stifle what could (and should) be interesting feedback and opinions of a current topic - is CANCEL Culture.
