Since I am a massive advocate for absolute freedom of speech—the only thing I’d ever restrict is the volume of someone shouting in public—it’s hard for me to stomach these kinds of censorship measures on sub-forums dedicated to History or Politics here on this site. In my view, we shouldn't even be hiding behind the excuse of "hate speech" bans. It should be total, unadulterated free speech.

Perhaps it would be better if we adopted legislation more like this:

Why on earth should anyone care about what you specifically stand for, or why should you feel this particular forum needs to be molded into your own personal vision?

There are plenty of other platforms out there—and hopefully, you're using English, but if not, consider this an opportunity to learn or brush up on it—that might suit your style better. Or, honestly, just build your own site so everything can be exactly how you want it.

I'm just waiting for an answer from yet another pathological liar.

So, I decided to run a little experiment—I actually reported your post (and mind you, I don't go snitching on comments unless they're truly egregious)—and wouldn't you know it... absolutely nothing happened. You didn't get a yellow card, let alone a red, for using "sarcasm" regarding victims of communism.

But if I had dared to comment on the victims of Auschwitz in that same tone? I’d be slapped with a red card and probably a hundred penalty points before I could blink.

What I'm talking about here is the blatant, beastly discrimination practiced by everyone on this forum—starting with the moderators, moving through the admins, all the way up to the owner.

The funniest part is that I'm being "advised" that my best move is to just leave the forum entirely, since I clearly won't change a thing.

I've already told Nice, if she honestly thinks *I'm* the problem here—rather than the double standards that everyone else has blindly accepted under dictatorial rule—then she should feel free to issue a permanent ban.

You and people like you certainly aren't going to stop me from writing.

Look, this isn't your thread. It’s your record, not mine. Since I don't engage with spammy inquiries, I won't be responding now either.

The only thing I can offer—and it's plenty—is noting that the topic has been moderated.

Locking this down now.
