Charles Fox10 said:So, in your view, that comment doesn't warrant a strike? 😕 It's not that they don't know; they just can't decide on the right terminology.

If you really want to dig into this, you'd probably get hit with something from the Custom Workshop category, like "inappropriate conduct on the forum" or some other excuse, but the penalty would be the same.

PS—why are we debating a strike from a year ago? Besides, isn't this off-topic anyway?

Honestly? No. Not because they don't deserve it, but because nobody else gets a red card for talking like that.

And if you’re still obsessed with this? Fine. You could get flagged by the Custom shop for something like "inappropriate conduct" on the forum or whatever other excuse they pull out of their hat—but the bottom line wouldn't change. The amount stays exactly the same.

500 points? Please. You’re being totally biased.

Seriously? We’re still arguing over year-old cardboard? Is that really what we're doing now? And besides, isn't this totally off-topic anyway?

It’s not off-topic. We’re talking about a former cabinet member here—it actually hits the nail right on the head. I don't get why people think this is off-topic?

It’s clear we don't see eye to eye on this, and I'm fine with that.

If we start policing what people can or can't say, we'll eventually run out of targets. Next thing you know, some politician or even a pro athlete will be offends because someone on the forum called them an idiot... and then their parents will be calling for blood.

It would be absolutely ideal if we could reach a point where we’re actually tearing apart someone’s policies and actions without making it a personal vendetta against the individual themselves.
I mean, honestly, I’m not entirely sure how you even pull that off with politicians, especially since they tend to bake their entire identity right into the legislation they push through Congress, so it all gets blurred together anyway.
In the meantime, though, public figures need to realize that being in the spotlight means being fair game for scrutiny, and they really ought to keep that in mind before they go chasing after high-ranking offices and all the perks that come with them.
Ultimately, it falls on the moderators to make that call—deciding whether a specific comment is legitimate criticism of an idea or if it’s just someone being a jerk and dragging the whole conversation down into the gutter.
