I’m considering posting such a thread, but I’m thinking very very carefully if this is a good idea. It seems best to me to wait a few days, perhaps even consider a meta thread or two in preparation.
Discussion in the absence of ethics, dosen’t really cover discussion that may hurt the community image or the image of posters, at least not explicitly. And while the current situation is intolerable I don’t want to cause any damage with a botched fix.
See here. I’m inclining more and more toward the opinion that this topic-cluster simply doesn’t belong here, any more than (other) controversial contemporary political issues do. It’s too fraught with (perceived) implications for tribal struggles that people (even unconsciously) feel themselves to be party to.
In all honesty, I’m not even terribly enthused about Luke’s proposed sequence being here, especially in Main. (It might well be okay in Discussion.) It sends the signal that LW is full of people who have trouble with these sorts of relationships. Maybe that’s true, but it’s not exactly something one would want to showcase, it seems to me.
I’m not quite sure what this means. I think if you start the discussion thread, you’d need to elaborate on that. (Are you sure you agree with cousin_it on understanding of these words?)
Thanks for the offer! Konkvistador has a prior claim to the idea, so I’ll do that if he/she prefers me to do that.

Thanks for replying. I think you’re right.

Seriously now. Konkvistador?
I didn’t know! (Though my guess would have been accurate.) I went wading through old comments:
Konkvistador: he
cousin_it: he
lessdazed: No pronoun stated, but you’re Jewish!
RomanDavis: No pronoun stated, but the first name makes “he” likely.
