I don't mean to single you out, Malarkey, as mostly I don't think you realise the impact, and your intentions are good. But a high proportion of posts in some threads, such as the recent Bonfire of Teenagers update, are comments that meet the criteria, with moderators being among those who repeat allegations
The milk has spilled, and the horse has bolted, by which I mean, widespread control of these tendencies hasn't been working. Interventions to remove offending posts would cost time and money - although since certain posts are removed, is the conclusion that the standards are about something other than fairness and respect? The rise of online platforms has hugely aided AI development, with the vast supply of data involved. More notice is recently being taken of the effects of these trends, and I share for any not aware.

Rulings on this case should challenge why these presumptions exist, and if they should at all.
Still, the story of Brazilian Astrud Gilberto who died last year as marked on Central and Solo, shows something similar has been happening in the analogue world all along
