Bad behavior according to whom? "Bad behavior" in this discussion is a
matter of opinion. So, my earlier assertion still holds. "I don't want
to be on the same platform where bad behavior is not sanctioned" is in
every respect the same thing as "I don't want to be on the same platform
where people are allowed to express opinions I disagree with" precisely
because what constitutes "bad behavior" is based only on opinion.
Granted, it may be a shared opinion and one that is shared by a great
many people, but it is still in the end an opinion.

A more precise framing is perhaps "Group A and not-A, for any arbitrary
dimension of human diversity", but that's a bit of a mouthful.
