No, certain higher-ups and politicians helped collude to hide Rotheram for fear of being called racist over what was going on. The "grunts", so to speak, had zero idea, and those that did have an inkling were basically told to "STFU or lose your career". He advocated for the "grunts" to be...

Context matters. Someone saying, "Nigger, wha'?" in response to a post where they're baffled? Although I understand why some of the more hypersensitive people would take offence, I don't see racist connotations in that (hilariously enough if it's a black user saying that to another black...

People have varying attitudes and beliefs means no one is being purely black or white, or in this case Left, Right, Center: they are just broad, nebulous umbrellas that people have taken to using as strict definitions. I'm a fairly conservative/traditional-in-culture person (but not religious...

Remember, being on the Left doesn't mean you're a Leftard. Unfortunately, most people on the Left these days are Leftards, so I presume when you think Left you think Leftard...?

Yes, technically it was a rules violation. In this case, he posted it for a specific reason/context though, suspecting what would happen that did end up happening. His point was proven, and a precedent (or the perception of one) set.

I guess it's partly fear about history repeating itself, even by the smallest steps and despite the current situation, and selective enforcement. Irrational or not (and I do trust you and other staff members), remember it's about perception. We're hypersensitive to this sort of shit for a...

He had good intentions but he was an idiot. It was clear what was going to happen (Hitler had zero interest in peace, and everyone from someone shoveling shit from a sewer to a professor at a university could see it), and he naively buried his head in the sand to try an appeasement strategy that...

Oh, I do give you and the other staff the benefit of the doubt -- @Spartan303 especially, given that he first hand experienced that shit from his former colleagues on SB, but it's not just about the personal level e.g. the person but the position. You're staff.

Because it creates doubt in what people will post in the future, innocent and within the rules or not, for worry that a member of staff may infract their post because of personal views/bias... which is why a lot of people walked away from (especially) SB, SV, and the like. It may not be true...

sigh Jesus fucking Christ, what the hell's happened here? Yes, I understand where the staff are coming from -- or rather their intentions (except for the 'appeal to SB and SV user-bases' aspect) behind it, especially @LordSunhawk's and @Spartan303's views. But, in reality? You're triggering...
