The problem with hate speech is not that many find it offensive. Even if it wasn't found offensive by anyone on this board, it would still be morally reprehensible. Just its very nature is unethical. For instance, if this was a board for the Klu Klux Klan, people were using racial epithets, the other members may not find those comments offensive. Nevertheless, they are still very unethical. I hope we can all agree on that.

So therefore, it is not the result of the hate speech that makes it unethical, but the nature of the hate speech itself that is unethical. I hope this provides clarity for our board moderators.

Also, I want to say that based on his most recent post in response to Joann, a very weak attempt to delegitimatize her concerns and feelings, I now personally call upon the moderators to remove Marshall from the board. It is clear that he is unable to apologize, or grasp, the consequences of his actions, and therefore his continued presence remains a threat to the Network54 community.

I regret to say that, but it is something that must be done - not only for the good of the board, but the good of society as a whole.
