I looked at your link to the comment that was removed, and indeed there is no nasty, ugly language in it.
However, I believe that you violated quite extensively another FR posting rule. And that is the one to NOT try to HIGHJACK a post by changing the subject. If you had only made one comment regarding LGBTQ+ within the Methodist Church, it might have been left there. However I think there were about 7 paragraphs each with a distinct part of this issue and each wanting an answer. So far as I understand the FR rules that seems like a detailed effort of trying to highjack the post.
A more appropriate place for those questions would be at the Religion Forum, and RevMom has every right to stick with the Ukraine topic if she wishes. Her views on Church politics have nothing to do with the Russian war on Ukraine, and she may not wish to discuss them, especially on an unrelated topic post. Those questions might also be appropriate on a discussion of the broad social implications of the LBGTQ+ struggle for equal rights in America and the impact of this issue on various church’s attitudes and policies. But again this has nothing to do with Russia’s war on Ukraine.
I thought some of the questions were interesting and well worded. However, I have no interest in that topic so am happy not to have it interupt the Russian war conversation.

On the Tavria direction, the Defense Forces are moving forward. There are already liberated territories and our movement continues.
Oleksandr Tarnavsky, the commander of the operational and strategic grouping of the “Tavria” troops, reported this on Telegram, Censor.NET informs.
According to him, during the past day, the enemy attacked our positions 18 times and fired 450 rounds.
“The missile troops and artillery units of the Defense Forces of the Tauriy direction carried out 954 fire missions during the day,” he clarified.
Over the last day, the enemy’s losses in killed and wounded amounted to almost four companies.
15 units of enemy military equipment were destroyed.
In particular, 4 ACMs, 2 “Supercam” UAVs, 2C3 “Akatsia” self-propelled artillery installation, and automobile equipment. The enemy’s ammunition depot was also destroyed.
My second reason was to get answers to my questions, which were originally posted on a FR thread put up by someone about the UMC's raging, internal war. That comment can in no way be construed as a "thread hijack" since it was directly related to the subject matter of that thread.
Why did you feel the need to copy so many freepers concerning my last comment? Do you have a need to "defend" RevMoM from criticisms or pointed, releavant questions?
The way I see it - and I'm pretty sure many freepers see it in a similar way - when you post massively and monolithically on the same subject, time and time again, when you constantly get comments critical of your views yanked, when you accuse people of being pro-Putin, pro- Soviet and pro-communist simply because they disagree with you, when you throw not-so-clever innuendo around attempting to sully other Freeper's reputations, when you imply that those who criticize you are mentally ill or suffer from personality defects, then you must be ready for withering criticisms and be able to handle them without leaping for the "abuse" button every time a comment ruffles your feathers. Doing that makes you no better than any censorious, doxxing, "woke" leftist who wants to shut down all opposition to their agenda(s).

Not everyone who hits the Abuse button is necessarily the person who has received the abusive/contentious comments. Some people just don’t like to see others attacked on subjects they are interested in and even may agree with. some people like all the material on the Russia/Ukraine conflict RevMom gathers in one place.
Personally, I have never hit the Abuse button for myself or on behalf of anyone else. End of discussion so far as I’m involved.
There are many other threads that have been posted by other "Zeepers" and "Youkazoids" that push the same fantasies/opinions/propaganda/what-have-you as RevMom's posts do. Research shows that RevMom's posts are the only ones suffering from consistent, heavy comment removal. That "math" leads to obvious conclusions.
Here are three beliefs that have always been of benefit in analyzing human behavior accurately and sniffing out bullsh*t : 1) You are not, nor will you ever be, the so-called "smartest person in the room" - there is always someone out there who is smarter and more perceptive than you are.
2) Never underestimate anyone. (And I mean anyone)
3) When seeking the truth regarding matters of deception, always allow the perp(s) to reveal their "game" by their own words and by their own actions - patience is key here.
I think it was Al Capone who said, "Two people can keep a secret only if one of them is dead." I believe he was right, because many people love to brag about, or drop hints about, how "slick" and "smart" they are and often they're not conscious of doing it.
Thanks for helping answer some of my questions and helping to confirm my major suspicions regarding coordinated censorship and comment removal on these threads.
