I am not denying that I am certainly making some assumptions but for instance if you search for articles hating on Christians and Christianity, you'll find there is an entire publication dedicated to it. I find that to be just as bad as it's clearly attacking an entire group of individuals because of their faith. I also had the unfortunate experience of reading article about men that were genuinely filled with hate. Now sure, none of those made actual threats, however, I'm also sure they made a lot of people feel attacked and humiliated. I for one don't think that Medium exists to create that kind of environment. I muted entire publications as their sole mission seemed to be just that - give voice to hate and abuse.
