We do not want to be a community where upsetting issues unrelated to doing good are regularly discussed. Especially not in a callous or edgy way. If they need to be discussed, we should be able to, but they should not be discussed frequently. If we became a community that discussed upsetting issues reguarly, we wouldn’t want to be here or invite others to be here.
Technically I agree, but I feel like some of your proposals lead people to believe there’s a big problem when there isn’t one. We didn’t bring up The Email; Torres did. And then lots of people understandably attacked a well-respected member of the community and then lots of people understandably defended him. We weren’t discussing it to be “edgy” and we don’t discuss it”regularly.”
I suspect there were a number of callous comments given the sensitive nature of the topic, so I might support a version of this that’s about reminding ourselves of the harm that can do as and when appropriate, but I think the forum mods are pretty good at this.
Proposed community norm. Agreevote if you agree.

The last clause is difficult to understand—could you clarify?
How’s that?
Clearer! Thanks!
