"Authoritarian" implies a political program. It implies fascism. It is not interchangeable with the word "bossy."

No, I don't think so. Its useful to describe a controlling, censorious attitude in social justice now. Opposite of libertarian

You said she's authoritarian b/c of "a controlling, censorious attitude." Doesn't "censorious" imply support for censorship?

I see "banning" and "setting up informal rules" as being completely different things. "Informal" is not a minor distinction.

I am criticising an attitude, not an action. She had the right to write that piece & she's not calling for any action.
