On the Reddit, this thread was locked before I even caught the last two posts:
The first from Kelly and the second from Dorian.Gray.

They’re taking my old comments out of context to twist my words and invent reasons to target me.

Kelly is trying to pin collective guilt on me, and now the admin is promising I won't have much of a future left on this forum.

If I can get a fair shake, I’m happy to explain everything—even if I can't provide the full context right here. But my main reason for reaching out is this: Is this how people normally communicate here? Especially toward someone who isn't looking for insults or fights? And is there any way to be protected from these kinds of threats and manufactured narratives?

I’m going to try to explain my side of the story before I get banned—or before they start threatening me with a permanent ban.

I was echoing what U2dva said earlier when he called users who posted hate speech and basic insults "leftists." Specifically, I wrote:
Even if they are leftists... they aren't even social democrats or liberals. Based on their rhetoric, they are just narrow-minded old-school fascists.
They hold a very primitive and anti-humanist worldview.
Because how can you interpret someone calling an American veteran, a patriot, an anti-communist, and an anti-totalitarian a religious fascist, a German-sympathizer, and a total sheep?

That post was deleted.
The moderators only highlighted a small portion of the insults and hate speech directed at veterans. Even I softened my language; instead of my original phrase, "German bootlicker," I used "German-sympathizer."

My logic is simple: a true American leftist isn't going to talk about our veterans like that. Even if we're talking about the most controversial figures that propaganda loves to target, only someone who hates America and those who defended her would speak this way. I’d like to hear from the user who actually wrote those things—what was the motive? It doesn't have to be fascism. When I read such filth, my first thought is that it must come from someone who hates this country, because I find it impossible that a real American citizen could harbor that much malice.

Meanwhile, Dorian.Gray singled out one sentence from another deleted post, which was written exactly like this:
"What we are going to do is send you back to the gutter where you belong."

In that post, I was discussing political purges. Given the tone of the conversation, instead of saying more appropriately—that they should be barred from public office—I wrote it the way I did.

All I want is to be able to write freely without fearing a ban or a permanent ban just for voicing an opinion. This is especially frustrating when the other side is allowed to engage in shameful insults and outright hate speech during debates about veterans.

I don't align with any of the factions currently dominating this Reddit.
Everyone seems to have protection here—Republicans, Democrats, old-school radicals, extremists, Russians, Ukrainians, Mexicans. The only people you can mock on this platform are American veterans; if they happen to be protesters, then feel free to absolutely tear them apart.
That’s how it looks...

Looking at this thread about the veterans' protest, it’s clear I was right in my last post.
The only people you feel comfortable mocking on this forum are American veterans, and if they're actually out there protesting, you just feel entitled to talk absolute trash to them.

Noah Grant59, what is it about these protesters that gets under your skin so much?
Did one of your clones lose someone in the war or something?

Since I don't hold any official position in the Reddit bureaucracy, I have no authority to dictate what anyone else thinks, but I suppose I can offer my own perspective: there are far too many clones on this forum, and spamming extreme political spin doesn't really fall under the definition of free speech.

Just like your idea of what counts as extreme isn't actually grounded in reality.

Look, William Bennett53, I didn't bother replying to you because you spent the last few messages complaining about me, and frankly, I see little point in explaining myself all over again. To ensure this thread doesn't devolve into a debate about veterans, let me offer a brief recap of my stance—though anyone interested can certainly elaborate further: You tend to be quite abrasive and disrespectful toward your colleagues, yet somehow find it deeply offensive when someone dares to be critical of protesters. If there is an issue with double standards here, it lies with you, not us.
