Long term lurker here... had to create an account after seeing this nonsense.
This is so petty, and honestly I would not want to see how some of y'all handle conflict and confrontation in the outside world, let alone work with some of you if this is how you react to differing opinions. Deleting accounts (and telling people about it before you do it), accusing someone with a different perspective and approach of being a cyber bully, and then coming for the moderator? Chill. out. Walk away and take a breather. Try not let this become unhealthy and toxic and learn to accept some discomfort rather than attacking it.
Anyways, are there any queer/LGBTQ+ POC folk on this forum who applied to PhDs in community health/social & behavioral sciences? Would love to connect and share experiences about this journey. Thanks!
