a good day

1) Ravelry is banning support for white supremacy and Trump from their website. Yay! https://www.ravelry.com/content/no-trump   
2) I put in an offer on a condo, it has been accepted, and now we have to do the work of actually buying it. I really like it! It's bright and pretty and in a good location!

Hating in support of hate is not permitted.

We will not permit witch-hunts, progressive loyalty-testing, or attempting to bait another into admitting support for President Trump in order to get them banned. The mod staff will deal harshly with attempts to weaponize this policy.
6. It is not open season on conservatives, and revenge fantasies against Trump and Trump supporters are still against the rules.

Good luck with that.

Strange as it may sound coming from a registered Republican, and weird as I think it is to ban support for the President of the United States(!) I fully support the right of both sites to do this.

“Liberty” is more than a word on a coin.  Freedom means the right to disagree - which of course they do NOT permit, hence the banning of heretics - but that’s their problem.  We don’t need to ban people.  They do.

I applaud Ravelry's action. I'm seeing people signing out, saying some version of "now that the site is off-limits to anyone who's politically conservative" and I just shake my head. Because no, it's not about who you are; it's about how you behave. After vile harassment on- and off-site, including doxxing, I'm just thrilled to see a site draw the line of no, you can't do that here. Imagine if Facebook could get their head out of their butts long enough...

I'm so proud of Ravelry! Hopefully some other social networks will be spurred on by their decision
