No. Censorship is never the answer. Can't ban something/someone because your feelings get hurt. Looks like you need thicker skin. Words hurt only if you let them. Body shaming is stupid, but so is censorship.
What about simple common decency?
But... I know that concept is probably lost on the typical basement-dwelling LRC troll.
LR is free to ban whoever they want. If someone wants to body-shame, they are free to walk out their door and say whatever they want. Just like Alex Jones being kicked off of Facebook, LR is free to stop creepy guys from body-shaming women on their website; in fact, I think they have a responsibility to do so. Women are much more likely to become anorexic or bulimic than men and having negative comments published on a website visited by so many in the running community can have serious repercussions. I'd like to think that people who post on this site would behave responsibly, but let's face it, that's a total joke. There needs to be some control from the top down.
