Imho this is a discussion board, and discussion means being ready for having one's opinion challenged. I deem it a reasonable expectation that people can handle many threads and posts that do not fit into a person's world view or mindset. Those who don't want that should not be the measure stick.
Sorry for involving my opinion, it's just because I created the former Trump tweets thread and I did not expect that to be against the rules.
Completely agree, here. It's actually a problem at the heart of saying that posts that "provoke" others are against the CoC. This is politics and religion; every single post is highly likely to be provocative. That's the nature of these conversations.
Trying to regulate this subforum was a challenge on the old boards, and it is a challenge here. All of us are aware of that. We can't let is become an apocalyptic hellscape free-for-all as that is bad for the forum and the board. But, over moderating it and stifling any meaningful discussion is just as likely to kill this subforum.
