When she returns, she clarifies that “abusive behavior” is banned, “but there is not, like, a specific target for the LGBT."

As someone who uses "like" as a stop word I really hate when journalists transcribe it as part of quotes but not traditional stop words like "uh" or "um". It feels very disingenuous and like it's meant to make the speaker seem dumb.

Definitely "Val Gal" condescending vibe.
It wouldn't have been transcribed that way for a male.

Perhaps they should have had an actual policy in place before just doing what an activist group no one fucking cared about started making demands. Otherwise the Support teams don't have anything to base their responses on other than what they've been told or seen.

People are calling back and it's very hypocritical that they are willing to cave to an activist group of 1067 people but not what I imagine to be more than 1067 calling them to change it back.

That would be admitting fault though. I've been watching a bunch of police abuse videos and they do the same thing, as soon as a decision is made you have to act like it was the correct one otherwise it becomes your fault.
