Hey, UN Moderator, I’m just dying to know what kind of pathetic excuse you cooked up after spending two whole days overthinking it, just to change my thread title from "" to ""...
I’d really appreciate it if the person responsible actually stepped up and explained themselves...

Thanks

I already know it wasn't Dee Dee, because that mod hasn't even been on the UN forums for over a year, and in the last three years, they've been gone three times 😁

We aren't bringing politics into the MK Store, which is why I've titled this as such.

Charles Fox10, was it you who went and changed the title?

What are you so afraid of? It’s not like I’m going to eat you alive.

I have to wonder, where exactly is the politics in this thread title? You can read it as a joke, or if you’re being dense or just don't know who I am, you can take it as chauvinism...
As far as politics goes, I clearly stated at the bottom of my first post that I didn't want any political talk in here, yet instead of actually cleaning up those few political posts, you decide to change my damn title... 🤦
And then you go ahead and change the title without even giving me a heads-up, no reason, no warning, nothing... I just show up to the MK Store and find this mess waiting for me. Then I have to go crawling through the bureaucracy just to get a straight answer.
There are threads on the MK Store that have been political for years where people say whatever they want without getting sanctioned, but somehow my thread about romance—which has zero to do with politics—is the one that gets hit.

It’s pretty obvious I already rubbed you the wrong way before, which is exactly why you're doing this now.

Don't overthink the headline. It’s not that deep. I just moved faster than my colleagues, that's all.

That headline just won't work because it simply can't...
Just delete the whole thread then. I’m dead serious. Just wipe it out...

And I’d really appreciate it if I could get an opinion from Nica, maybe she can actually provide a decent answer

That headline just won't work because you haven't actually explained why it can't, which is what I was trying to tell you in a rush yesterday, so now the whole thing looks messy...
If you wanted to lecture me on this, you should've been faster than the rest of the guys at the office about updating those titles, since the thread sat there for two days straight 😁

Because, let's be clear, hate speech isn't something anyone should be spreading, even in jest. However, if you had simply stated that you hold a grudge against South Koreans...
Perhaps that would have flown?

I’m not a fan of the initial headline; it’s just plain misinformation.

Where on earth would anyone get the idea that Bruna Esih would hate Mexicans? It's an indefensible claim.

It wouldn't make sense because the emotion of hatred is focused on destruction (per Dr. Zoran Milivojevic, "Emotions"), and there's simply no reason for that here.

The war hawks among Mexicans aren't nearly as prevalent now as they were during the American Civil War. We're talking about one newspaper and a single congressman.

Besides, Mexicans probably realize that opposing the government during the American Civil War didn't pay off. They were backed by big players in those anti-government movements, but nobody cared about the sacrifices being made. In fact, they were basically counting on Americans to slaughter them just to prove a point about fascism—like when 50,000 people were trapped in the Territory (D.D. Loso, "Admiral's records - about victory and love" 2015.).

Do you see now, Zac, why they saw fit to alter the title even though it sits on an uninhabited MK? You tinker with things, and then when some fool takes you for a ride, you act surprised. 😁

Look, gentlegull93, if you actually had some backbone, you wouldn't be claiming that Bruna Esih makes you hate Mexicans; instead, you'd be saying she makes you adore Jerry Mark and want to buy The Instructor some chocolates... 🕺

Focus on more love, kid, and less hatred... :lennon: 😎 🙂

It wouldn't make any sense because the whole concept of hatred is centered on destruction (per Dr. Zoran Milivojevic, "emotions"), and she has absolutely no reason to go down that road.

There aren't even nearly as many war hawks among Mexicans today as there were back during the American Civil War era... just one newspaper and one congressman.

Besides, those Mexicans probably realized that acting against the government during the American Civil War wasn't worth it, since the big shots supported them but didn't care what kind of sacrifices they had to make—they even counted on Americans slaughtering them just to prove a point and label everyone as fascists, like when 50,000 people were trapped in the Territory (D.D. Loso, "Admiral's records - about victory and love" 2015.).

🤣

bluecyclist64 and Peak, look, the whole topic is about love, not hatred...😳

So, apparently he won't even give me an answer as to why that thread title isn't allowed on MK.

Charles Fox10, I'm asking you one more time... if you can't let me keep the title I picked, then just delete the whole damn thread, because it’s already completely veered off track from what it was supposed to be about anyway.
Or at least get my posts out of there...

Let me know once you've made up your mind, and I'll handle the moderation however you'd like.

Look, as SM, I’m totally backing the moderator Charles Fox10 on this one. That title was just completely out of line—not just for MK, but honestly, it didn't belong anywhere on this forum at all.
Posts and threads don't just get deleted or moderated just because someone asks, you know?

You clearly didn't read this thread; it wasn't flagged for being inappropriate, it was flagged because it's political.
And I don't get what you find so offensive about it... the idea that I'd actually change my entire worldview just for some woman?

As for deleting the post, I've been trying to find the right window of time for two days now...🙂

The mods have weighed in and given their final word. Discussion is closed. Nica will jump back in if she feels there’s anything left to add.

Bottom line.
