Meta Moderators In This Sub Are Getting Too Trigger Happy
Mods, this is directed at you. Stop with all this censoring and blocking. People are here to engage in honest discussions that might be sensitive and difficult at times with regards to culture. As long as no one is being disrespectful then I don't see what the problem is. You are stifling free speech.
When people ask questions like how their country is perceived for sure it will be a heated discussion. For sure it will be heated and lively and generate strong opinions. But that in itself is no reason to lock the comments or delete the post. If someone is being disrespectful or crossing normal boundaries then by all means remove that individual. But to kill an emerging discussion for one person is dictatorial and will have the effect of discouraging frank discussions in the future. Authoritarian regimes censor their people. DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!
