I’m not sure who you think is the victim or why you came to that conclusion.
The OP didn’t get the response he wanted and threw a hissy fit.
Folks responded. Vocally.

For the better
Your response was very well thought out and written. It is a true pity that more could not follow in your footsteps.
I did edit my post but the wrong one.
I would like to clarify that (in my last post) your 3 responses were well written and thought out in the locked thread.
And I wish that more peoole had followed in your footsteps there.
I think this thread is where people can speak their mind . Why edit . Freedom of speech. Right . If you get butt hurt . Look away. Times are crappy and it’s going to get alot worse . Rough seas ahead. .
Rain at last. Hopefully it will help the newly planted crops across the country. We are facing a severe food shortage, and it will get worse in a month, according to the UN and other bodies.
I am going to plant some cassava today. Also some eggplant and long beans. If you haven’t seen mature cassava plants I can take a few photos.
As someone who despises drama in any shape or form, I found that thread to be quite helpful – especially since I’m fairly new here. While I remember very few posters from CH days & of course know several from my Facebook group, those exchanges show me which posters to not engage with. Ever.
Today is SCOTUS’s last opinion release day for June 2022. With their term coming to an end each release date is highly anticipated.
Sitting on the edge of my seat…
Just read this and I was surprised.
I’ve shifted my focus and my eyes have been drawn to this statement lately:
“Thoughtful discussions among avid food lovers.”
I’m so grateful that it is at the top of my screen and a gentle reminder for me to behave.
I’m mystified as to why this would have been flagged.
Perhaps considered Political?
Anyone can flag any post.
The mods then go back and decide if the flag was appropriate.
Remember, they’re all volunteer folks.
Could be, I guess if one considers the judicial a political body. But something that milquetoast seems an unusual trigger.
Yes, anyone can flag a post the question posed by @CCE why would they flag this one?
I don’t see it as being offensive, possibly Political is the only thing that makes sense to me.
I didn’t flag it, but by definition this is political.
The last thing I want is to be discussing abortion on a food forum.
I agree, yet I just took it as a notification rather than a discussion topic.
Will you marry me? Just kidding but barely. As I read your posts I was thinking finally someone on the internet gets it. I was commenting just the other day to a lovely member of this group (in a pm of course) that I was surprised by what seemed to me to be a tolerance towards personal attacks here that confused me. A lot. Most sites have “no personal attacks, no politics” and I try to comply. Love your forest not trees approach. I would not ask what your personality type is as that seems intrusive but I know that my type loves theories. You are so right about being an observer. The cruel hearts on chowhound hurt me but a wise friend of mine got hurt badly. To me the whole cowardly “likes” say “ha good one.” I am out of words here, a rare event. Thank you so much. Oops forgot to add (of course) that my meditation leader warned her class that the full moon is fertilizer so be careful what you feed it.
