So I take it is ok to mention it reminds one of 1984, but not the reason it is so? Should I refrain from trying to mention certain established world events rega

  This sort of ideological concern trolling is always the same and it gets tiresome after a while, but let me give you an answer. The Orwell comment was bad because it was flippant and unsubstantive. But naming a specific person to apply that condemnation to is far worse. I don't see this as a particularly difficult distinction. We ask people not to do the former and we insist that they don't do the latter, and ban them if they won't stop. I notice that you subtly slipped it into your own comment as well ("the reason it is so").

    Thank you for an answer and for this community. Sorry for being tiresome. I could remain in the silent majority, agree with the [flagged], keep my "ideological concern", and not say anything, but I didn't. I won't pretend something was achieved, but at least I spoke? I will not tolerate insinuations that some things are sacred.[0] If the medium.com post had been made by a fictional entity inside a book, you would allow me to bring up the appropriate wikia page, as well as the relevant lore so as to give the proper context for everyone reading. Being this a Real Person, I feel I am being compelled not to (see the flagged comment). My two cents.
