This comment is why having this discussion is so difficult.

To anyone not invested emotionally in this conversation, it's clear that your point isn't making a valid point. They are not equivalent actions.

You're pretending they are to try to lend cover to the truly harmful action that just took place.

We can call a spade a spade without pretending that everything else is also a spade.

To be clear, I am directly saying that you are arguing in bad faith.

I hope it is clear that this is not an attack on you as a person. I am attacking your idea directly, not you.
