Thank you for a thoughtful nuanced response. I think your perspective that questioning hyperbolic rhetoric is not the same as tacit support for the underlying issue is really important. It is critical to maintain perspective in discussion and avoid vilification of a counter party.

The "hyperbolic rhetoric" was when the founder compared sharing the Pyramid of Hate with accusing coworkers of genocide.

... pointing out that others are using the term 'genocide' in their language, is not 'accusing co-workers of genocide'. The managers didn't accuse anyone of 'genocide'. [1]

I don't see anything in this article as draconian or even excessive on the part of he executive team.
