Agreed. No one should be forced out of FIRST or any other CD-related activity by someone toxic.
Agreed. If there is a malicious, misguided, or clueless situation that might cause someone to be forced out of ___, then someone (several someones, including me) shouldn't be happy about it.
And I'll add this opinion. Responses that focused exclusively on a "toxic" author would be dangerously incomplete. Step one for me is helping readers embrace that they should never cede that much authority to anyone else.
