Did you see the front page of Reddit when they were blowing up at Pao over the fat people abuse subreddit? I think it's disingenuous to claim that this is just polite disagreement: http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2015/6/10/...
When he says that the "troll" label is overly used, that does not mean he is claiming it was inappropriate in any particular case, such as when applied to what was directed at Pao.
I'd be much more interested in seeing what the front page of /r/all was for that same period of time.
EDIT: I suppose you were just on /r/all, but still.
But it's more complicated than it looks. Pao and stuff are giving 0 cares about political correctness being a cancer far more evil than fat hate.
We don't need owners at reddit to act like priest or therapist spreading their "morality". It doesn't work.
Why are jerks like Trump surging? People have had it with the hypocriscy and suppression of truth.
