What rules did I break? I'm confused.

Edit: Ah ok an IP ban. I guess time to use a proxy. Moderation has rules. Censorship does not.

Censorship is bad dang mmmkay?

Editing again to post later cause you nuked replies for some reason:

Sorry I don't conduct in personal attacks. I think you're confused. Feel free to list whom I attacked and where.

No, censorship doesn't change definitions based on who uses it. Unless you want to pretend like you're not censoring. You seem to have convinced yourself that your censorship is a form of moderation, very sad. You're free to censor whom and what you want, it's your site. Don't pretend it's moderation though.

Your guidelines are meaningless if censorship is so heavy handed and moderation non-existant. It's hard to moderate. It's easy to censor.

Anyway you have curated, through censorship, a place where people are afraid to share valid opinions that break no guidelines (except those magical ones you can produce in order to censor). You can congratulate yourself on that if you want. You've got a ghost town, whether you like it or not.

Unfortunately, I can imagine the ignorant Americans who don’t realize that all those poor people want SUVs too. You know who doesn’t talk about climate change? Anybody in my family in Bangladesh. They want to live like Americans.
