Lets not pay attention to the fact you complain and nobody has booted you. More irony that you complain about my criticism of your criticism.
You don't like the rule, so? I am telling you that rule isn't the Gestopo tactic you want to think it is. There is no such thing as a utopia. Now the great thing about western common law, is that if you don't like a page, you can start one yourself on other social media and set the rules up the way you like.
Now again, if I thought for one second the staff here were power hungry "agree with me or else" or "never offend or disagree", I would not stay on this website. Secondly there would be no reason to ask for member's input at all about the new rule if they simply wanted to do whatever they wanted.
So you seem to think that anyone who "complains" should be booted?
We do not live in a vacuum. If the staff truly acted like some of you pretend that it does act to a certain extent not one soul would populate these forums. Let me repeat this. We do not live in a social vacuum. To a certain degree not only is it expected of people to voice their concerns and opinions in whichever context, it is actually encouraged and ultimately beneficial to do so. To say otherwise is simply delusional and derivative of far too simplistic a worldview to further address and one which actually feeds into my original point about authoritarianism. Now you seem to want to go around that by splitting hairs and pointing out the obvious fact that we're not talking about a government here. That is intellectually dishonest on your part and I will not engage you if you continue to act in that manner.
