It's say a definite line would be groups that actively want to deny another group rights, or wish violence on them.
That's a pretty deep line in the sand for me.

That seems to be the ideal, but when it comes to rights, some degree of free speech has to come under the umbrella. Users also have a responsibility, not just admin, to make decisions to avoid taking needless offense and tolerate other perspectives and stay reasonable - it may be nothing more than cognitive dissonance without bad intentions. Also whatever lee-way is given, it cannot be justifiably denied to some demographic groups and not others, or the double standard breeds resentment and undermines the principle.
But wishing violence on others, should this not include general harm, onto individual users or wider groups? I'm not sure how that is defined.
