Continuing the discussion from [Splitting hairs over genocides](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/splitting-hairs-over-genocides/17338/32):

Noted, but also… you’re participating, so maybe address that before calling for organizational changes to the board 😕

I find it difficult to justify banning all sociopolitical discussion, because any time I’ve seen that enforced strictly, it ended up cutting off legitimate discussion as well. Ans when it’s _not_ enforced strictly it boiled down to a, “don’t offend anyone” rule because it was complaint driven.

Didn’t call for any organizational change, I’ve stated i have no quarrel with the eventuality of that specific topic getting purged. A statement I’ve only made due to my participation.

Users come and go, I’ve been banned plenty from plenty of boards for no reason i’d apologize for. You’ve called the thread borderline already and I will cross that border, For I am obliged. To cross that border, Should it come down to it.

You might not know you did, but you did. You worded it politely, which i appreciate, but we have no policy of deleting threads, and you suggested doing just that, as well as suggesting a “no politics” policy.

Sounds like a you problem.

But i will, Even tho i’ve no desire to do it here. 😕

Which was an apology m9, not a sign of confrontation or a subtle que to start the censorship wagon.

edit;  
Anyway, with that out of the way.
