We had moderators years ago who were politically for dissolving the border with Mexico, and they worked together with a long gone, dead, and unlamented poster known as Howlin to ban or suspend posters who's primary goal was securing our borders.
It got better, and that faction lost the debate here.
When the depth of the pedophile problem in the church began to be revealed over a decade ago, we had some religion moderators who would add the religion tag to a thread and then ban or suspend users criticizing the shielding of pedophiles for (retroactively) violating the religious forum rules.
Obviously the denial they were in has collapsed by this point.
Disappearing threads is mild.
Take everything with a grain of salt, and if you get upset read a book or go visit a friend or something.
Don't let this site evolve from a place to get news into a central social activity for your life.
I'm also preaching to me of course.
Wait, what?
