My bad - I was being sarcastic about the first comment, not sarcastic about the second (and agreeing with you).

To more fully explain what I meant by my first response, I was frustrated by his lack of awareness of the ways intersectionality impacts how different people interact with each other online. Codes of Conduct become increasingly important as one recognizes that intersectionalities of oppression can create extremely toxic situations for some minority groups and not others, depending on the context of the group. So, basically what you were saying in your second comment.

You sound pretty knowledgable about intersectionality. Do you have any material on it? I'm only familiar with it from one blog post, so I wouldn't mind learning some more. It sounds like there are more nuances to it than I first understood.
Thanks! Honestly, I would start with the wikipedia article about it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality). It's a nice intro and has a lot of great links.
