This thread is focused on an incident in Debates Forum, where a seriously offensive post was placed. At least two people have complained about it, one of these being the bully's target but it still stands. So, are our current group of moderators handling this complaint correctly? Someone's floated that tired old "free speech" argument again, but this was an attack on an individual and that should never be allowed to stand untouched.

And the post still remains. Time to work at finishing my games and leaving this site.
