- interfixus 9y agoAs always, moderators have the final say, take it or leave it. I'm the first to acknowledge that, whether or not I agree with a specific decision. Interested, though, in a subcomment to see myself sort of likened to a "daily stormer, 4chan, neo-nazi, alt-right psychopath", and that comment apparently not getting censored, despite my flagging. I'm probably just being thick, but the ruleset is not immediately obvious to me.
