Why are the shit posters even worth protecting ? Comparing going after shit posters with going after cat posters is a slippery slope argument . There is a difference between spreading hate and spreading pictures of cats , and I believe that enough people are intelligent enough to tell that difference between trying to clean up the site of negative behavior and trying to clean up the site of cat pictures . That poem you mentioned is way too often used as a crutch to justify defending bad behavior . And again to clarify , its not just about low content posts . I ' d even have more of a problem if Spez edited someone ' s shit post about cats to one about dogs . But when they went after him , they made it personal and I can understand the response he took . Probably wasn ' t the smartest move , but still understandable .
