I'm not sure there's a good way to put that into the rules, but I'd love to see more of that kind of thing here.

I'm sad to hear that there's still a problem here with people being made to feel less than safe here. I know our founders have tried to address this in the past, by clarifying certain things in the TOS, but it sounds like more may need to be done.

I don't know who the person is that the OP is referring to, but I hope they're okay and that there's a way to make them and others like them feel more welcome here.
