In a way it looks very much like just the same issue that has come up before with people getting banned from tech conferences for example: Should the beliefs a person holds that are unrelated to the community in question be grounds for ostracizing him from said community. I don't really understand why you think that isn't an issue worth discussing.
- tptacek 10y agoI didn't say it wasn't an issue worth discussing. I said that the article we're commenting on is highly misleading. It would lead one to believe that the community is penalizing consensual sexual behavior, when in fact the concern has virtually nothing to do with his BDSM subculture.
- ajsalminen 10y agoI don't think the article is that one-sided. It also raises another issue which is that the total lack of transparency even to the person being prosecuted is problematic. The comments from the DA side about this have been few and self-contradictory so that partially the reason the article is the way it is.
