My problem with that is that in most cases, the supposed bigotry is just their opinion and not factual. If some member of the Klan gets on here and spouts their racist beliefs, okay. But when someone advocates for the use of IDs to vote, that is NOT bigotry in and of itself. But, then again, if we had an unregulated forum like DA suggests, then who cares?
I see what you're saying, here. The problem comes in that what you describe makes up maybe, and I'm being generous here, 25% of the claims of bigotry in this subforum and is not the case most of the time. The majority of the statements called out as such are legitimately prejudicial statements made in a disparaging manner from what I have seen.
