> You seem like the type of moderator to remove things that don't agree with your political opinion by the way you word things

Why do I feel like that's bait? lol

I'll answer it anyway... I'm the type of moderator who has no problem with people disagreeing with me, so long as they do not try to revolt against the rules.

Didn’t you ban someone in this comment thread for disagreeing with you?

In this thread? Only 1 person was banned, and it was because they started cussing at me (those posts have been removed, too).

I'm fine with people disagreeing with me or anyone else, respectfully. I'm fine with people having a difference of opinions, thoughts, and ideas.

But once you cannot be civil, you also cannot be a member.

I understand why they got to the point of cursing at you - after they disagreed, you just tried to shut down their dissent by saying it wasn't up for debate. IMO it's not very civil to silence people who disagree with you, either.

There is a difference between talking and discontent. The OP was having less of a discussion and more trying to sway opinion concerning the rules and policies, which are not up for debate. - They, simply, are. You either abide by them, or you can leave or be banned for not following them. There is no alternative.

That's your choice. Have a wonderful day.

100% agree. Very uncomfortable and doesn’t seem to be doing the sub any good. Just banning people recklessly under the pretense of a moral high ground and making attention-seeking posts.

Yeah, when moderators start making me feel uncomfortable about their actions, I just unsub. It's a lot easier than dealing with it.

I disagree and yet, you're not banned.

The only people who have been banned are those who promote bigotry and homophobia, plus those who cannot have a respectful conversation. There is also 1 person, who kept trying to make new accounts, just to tell me off. -- As if, that was going to end well. lol

Now, if you're the type of person who "needs" to call people names and supports bigotry or homophobia, I can imagine I'll be a nuisance. Otherwise, I welcome people disagreeing with me and having respectful conversations.

But if you're not someone who can respect the status quo, then yes, this is me: https://youtu.be/Sg14jNbBb-8

While I, myself, do not suffer from depression -I can most certainly sympathize regarding lack of sleep. I am often a functioning insomniac.

I am sorry you're expecting that. I hope things turn around for you.

I've felt like that before. My perspective of time can be funny sometimes. Again, I wish you all the best and hope things turn around.
