The toxic acceptance of hate speech in Just Chat

I would like to document another unprofessional exchange with a chat guide.

Context (not captured):

When I logged into the room the conversation was about insurance on bank accounts being covered up to £75,000. I mentioned that it isn’t a good idea to keep that much money in a bank account and it would be better to invest it.

LE responded that investments have some risk of losing value, which can certainly be true. I offered the counter arguement thant saving money in a bank is a guarenteed loss of value because it is erroded over time by inflation (especially at the moment).

For some reason LE did not like this and threatened to mute me for an indeterminate reason:

I responded to this mentioning the abuse that I documented in the original post of this thread. To this i was told to “grow up”, which wasn’t the response given to people who were abused by guests (except me), they all had to be banned, even the innocent ones.


When other users expressed concern over this, LE seemingly tried to deny that anyone has ever been muted or banned from JC. Not sure what the purpose of this was.

When I reminded LE that I was threatened with an unjustified mute, I was told that it “was a statement not a threat” … whatever that is suppose to mean.

It’s was clearly a threat.
