Even if the person was being emotionally distressing to you. Just walk away and bitch about them to family.
You don't punch them. This was no self defense.

It is suspect for sure.They aren't following because they don't want to follow. Intentionally misconstruing her words and posting blatant falsehoods such as she didn't walk back her initial stance (she did) just so they can justify ganging up on her. And it's not lost on me they're doing this to possibly the only black female mod on this forum.
Y'all think y'all slick but you're not. If you got some misogyny on your mind then say with it your chest rather than hide behind these feckless accusations.
I want that the admins respect the rules like everyone else and when they break them, they should lose their admin role.It's not that hard.I bet a lot of us have seen members get banned for WAY less than this.
I did read some terrible takes on ERA, but this one... this one could be the worst.Some class privilege in this thread. When you grow up struggling sometimes the only thing you have is your reputation. That is why you should never insult someone unless you are ready to throw hands.
Lady is out here getting shit pay for a tough job to have someone come out and call her a bitch? Nah.
The american justice system is literally built on the idea that we should hurt people who hurt people, to show that hurting people is wrong. Don't act all surprised when you get hurt saying hurtful shit. (Note: I believe our "justice" system is busted and we should abolish the police and prison. That said, I am not going to act surprised or try to take the moral high ground when obvious shit happens. This shit is engrained in our culture.)
This isn't her first "mistake".Isn't she the same person that was ok with killing white babies?Also seen people say much worse and not get a warning.
Come on. Its not like she said "I don't care what the old lady said, fuck her, only a shame she was awake at the time."
This place conditions you to make those assumptions. I made the same thing before I saw the OP mentioned in a post the word Bitch , which wasn't in the OP. And she gave a pretty sincere apology within hours. Been here long enough to know most other mods definetley won't do that.

The admins need to do something about her or she needs to stfu already.Can't believe some of you call yourselves progressive and have these kind of takes.Makes me sick.
The mod did nothing near deserving of the posts people made about them. Entire thing was blown out of proportion.This thread wouldn't have been such a shit-show if people left their prejudices at the door and read the article before leaping to conclusions. Instead of adding to the nonsense, the mod posting in this thread could have done their job and kept things under control when it started going off the rails on the first couple of pages. It's not even a complicated or particularly nuanced situation. Now we've got 9 pages of nonsense over an incident where one person was certainly in the wrong.
Nepenthe's apology was good and seemed sincere, so bringing up old, irrelevant posts to drag her is out of order.
The posters trying to reframe the situation to defend their shit takes and doubling down on this one look extremely disingenuous, and blinkered though.

In that scenario I would have 0 sympathy for her, but I would also condemn the specific instance of violence.Uhm, so if she actually said the N word people here would be ok with beating her down?

LolThis is littered with he said she said so it's hard to pull anything here.
If the description that she marked it delivered and sat there chatting for 15 minutes is true, that's pretty frustrating. I understand these jobs are fucking hard, customer service type jobs suck, manual jobs like delivering suck, but it's still your job. I don't think invoking white privilege over that is really necessary at all. That being said these situations are always grossly exaggerated. Was it really 15 minutes? Who knows, but I sincerely doubt it.
However, Regardless of what caused the insult, if she dropped a slur, shes a bad person period. There is 0 justification for that ever. While I understand you can't just go around attacking people, ESPECIALLY on the job, there is no situation on this planet a racial slur should ever be dropped. If she is proven to have used a slur she should be prosecuted in some way.
If she actually just used the word bitch, then lol who cares? Was it unwarranted? Maybe, but an insult like dickhead or bitch in these situations 1000% never deserves that reaction. I'm skeptical she simply called her a bitch, is there proof of that?
