[QUOTE="avstor, post: 887969, member: 87871"] How many times have threads been shut down only because people got upset just because they didn't like completely civil, wholesome, non-offensive content ? Hmm ? In the history of this place literally hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands, of threads. You people are the ones that keep bringing up rude, condescending, and offensive behaviors. I never said a word about that. Not once did I say that anyone should be over the top offensive. Yet, I do believe that people should be allowed to be as forceful and as argumentative as they wish. Once again, to my point, people interpreting and ascribing meaning to posts that is not even there. Free exchange is going to upset people. That is the very nature of free and open debate. Censoring because people are merely upset is total cringe. If you are going to ban people just because they've upset someone else... that's total cringe. That is censorship plain and simple and it has nothing to do with breaking rules or behaving badly. [/QUOTE]
