I have to disagree for several reasons.
First, we comment on the bodily attributes of participants and their guests all the time. It is one of the central activities in this forum.
Second, wearing sunglasses and a hat indoors is a choice and action, as are tattoos or haircuts. Criticizing those is not the same as criticizing the shape of one’s nose, for example. I don’t see a problem there.
This doesn’t go against you in particular, and I don’t even know who Norberto is talking about. I also don’t have much sympathy for trolls, haters or conspiracy theorists. It’s more about a trend in discussions.
This whole strain of “that’s none of your business”-arguments seems a bit lazy and misplaced to me, given that the participants and their guests deliberately put their lives in front of these cameras. By giving up so much of their privacy they turn their private affairs into public affairs, which makes them fair game for discussion.
Of course we have to keep it civilized, and freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. But ever so often “that’s none of your business” seems just a bit too lazy in the discussions. Declaring someone’s arguments invalid instead of arguing against them.
This has been nagging me for a while and I could have put this rant in reply to many other posts.
