Hmm. Well, to me, context matters. And in a context where various people associated with Wiscon have been known to mock and trivialize the reactions and opinions of other people by making reference to their color and emotional state, (the phrase "a White woman's tears" comes to mind here), and in a context where Luke is already denigrating someone on the committee who disagreed with the move as "a bad [...] example", and at a time when a bunch of folks associated with the "fail" events and Wiscon are gang-mocking Jay Lake for his confession of not feeling safe there, it just doesn't seem neutral to me to feel compelled to call out both the color and the putative emotional state of someone who disagrees with the poster. It looks a lot like dismissing them with a characterization. Which has been going on rather too much in the context of Wiscon and race discussion.
