@MandyJane Basically a user refused to untag him in a post then he threatened to sue us for violating CAN-SPAM laws.

@mk @MandyJane @alex He got upset I didn’t call you a TERF and it went downhill from there I guess

Convo was largely civil tho, it wasn’t like it turned into a hellthread. He just doesn’t seem to like y’all very much

@realcaseyrollins

When did I "get upset"... I said it was not particularly accurate. Never said or indicated I was upset.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@freemo @alex @MandyJane @mk Perhaps that was uncharitable, apologies. Maybe it would have been more accurate to say that you were irked by it?

@realcaseyrollins

Not even irked, I think your reading too much into it. It just seemed non-descript and vague.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@freemo @alex @MandyJane @mk That is fair. I was just trying my best to make a balanced article without leaning on one side or another (TERF is a highly abrasive term, many TERFs view it as a slur, although perhaps gender critical might be a more neutral way to say the same thing)

@realcaseyrollins

Yea I can see that. Though I would imagine that most of spinster will outright admit and claim up front they are exclusionary to trans women as part of feminism. Perhaps "Anti-trans feminism" would have been a less abrasiveness term if they think TERF is crude.
