And I don't think I have ever written anything transphobic here or anywhere else, but since I disagree with Lara (HT/HN), I am labelled as one. Makes sense? No, but, again, it comes and goes in circles and cycles.

I don't think it makes sense either.

Disagreeing with a trans person, in of itself is not transphobic. Instead, it's more about perpetrating the negative stereotypes (and falsehoods) about trans people that is transphobic I would say.

In the past two weeks I have been called  a fucktard, a bully, transphobic, by the same 3 people who are gathering on HN's thread to vomit bile, insult and abuse on me and other users (pushing them away from this forum, btw), and private messages have been sent around to "warn" people about me (from the same 3 individuals, obvs).

I don't like the name-calling either. I feel like it detracts from one's argument/position.

These are the same people who are telling off Eve for doing her job and removing threads that they themselves had reported or requested to remove.

This bothers me a lot. Not only has HN's thread been removed, but so has Eve's. I worry if things get bad enough, Eve might just shut down the whole forum.

They are also the same people who decided by themselves that "mild name calling is allowed on ths forum" (which is new to me, tbh).

I don't think this is appropriate. It goes against the terms of service.

Now these people are accusing me of being a bully and transphobic for what I wrote here. I am happy to be confronted on every single word if they can point out what in anything I wrote is transphobic. I don't even know if I should acknowledge the accusation given the track record of the accusers.

I feel like at this point, there may be little to no gain to acknowledging the accusation(s). When one or more people resort to name-calling, any semblance of having a sincere debate is over with IMO.
