Yup, I am now banned, where a long time user who sent a PM to another user
calling him a "fag" and is still active and a moderator made the following
comment and neither he nor other moderators apologize for it:

So what is so dangerous? Words, words and stories from people like Eli.
BTW, Eli is local to my community.

Eli will be entering college in a few days. Even when he was growing up, he
had always been uncomfortable about not being able to do "boy sports" and
other "boy things". He was enrolled at a local all-girl Middle/High School
in 6th grade, but finally understood at 13 that he was actually a boy. It
was a difficult realization - not because of other people's reactions, but
because of the internal processing of the things he knew he would have to
face. Fortunately, both his parents, his friends, and the school were very
supportive of his decision. The "coming out" process took a while, but he
has been feeling much happier now that he can finally be who he is.

If Eli has the courage to be part of the project, then I need to step up
and stand up to censorship.
