I’m not sure that you do. Understand that I am *not* saying that your lived
experience isn’t real and that you *personally* may have not experienced
the sort of issues that far too many people of colour, creed, sexuality,
gender, or whatever *other* means has been used to marginalize, belittle,
etc.

What I do know is that you’re expounding “Respectability Politics” and are
attempting to dismiss Coraline’s recommendation simply because her *words*
may not be as polite, refined, or as friendly as you would like them to be.
What you are doing *when* you do this is attempting to say that *her* lived
experience isn’t real. So no, I’m *not* actually sure that you get it.

Look, if you *actually* act MINASWAN, there’s nothing to be worried about
from a code of conduct. These things aren’t put in place to give people
things to trip over just so they can be banned from a community; they are
there to help with making judgements when there are hard calls to be made.
