I would like to suggest that folk not downvote this post below zero. I’m generally in favour of allowing people to defend themselves, unless their response is clearly in bad faith. I’m sure many folk strongly disagree with the OP’s desired social norms, but this is different from bad faith.
Additionally, I suspect most of us have very little insight into how community health operates and this post provides some much needed visibility. Regardless of whether you think their response was just right, too harsh or too lenient, this post opens up a rare opportunity for the community to weigh in.
I suspect people are downvoting this post either because they think the author is a bad person or they don’t want the author at EA events. I would suggest that neither of these are good reasons to downvote this specific post into the negative.

Hi,
This meant a lot to me.
This is how I would like to judge posts I disagree with, so I appreciate you advocating for mine in such terms.
