They should be judged based on their current opinions and actions.
- Volundr 6y agoSerious question... How do we know when someone's past actions are no longer relevant? Obviously if someone wrote a bunch of racist crap yesterday, they shouldn't be given a pass because they didn't write any today. I agree there needs to be a path forward for people to move beyond their mistakes, but it's not clear to me that time since last known offense is the only qualifier.
