I already said you were not being ignored, but you chose to interpret it as a dismissal of your feelings. Telling people to have more empathy and then reacting negatively when people have responses you don't like comes across as hypocritical. Your communication affects others too. > > https://www.crnhq.org/cr-kit/#empathy This should apply to all parties, not just the ones that aren't you. "Empathy is about building rapport, openness and trust between people. When it is absent, people are less likely to consider your needs and feelings." You started this thread with strong words like "draconian", "Unlawful" and immediately insisted on absolutes like "completely removed". No attempt to build rapport, or consider the feelings of the gccrs developers.
