Yep. You say something that is not in the mainstream, and your comment gets flagged, and your account gets banned for being "incendiary".

  I disagree with that, I have had expressed 'extreme' opinions in this forum but I kept it civil, positive, and all I got hit with was to lose some 'karma points', and even the comments 'slapping me' were positive and I learned from the dialogue. I am not perfect, but who is? I believe in this forum we value open mindness and a fair dialogue. I don't like agreeing with everyone on everything, that would make a very boring and unproductive forum.

    Define "extreme". Try expressing ideas that are anti-egalitarian or anti-democratic and see how far you can go.

      Lots of people are anti democratic. Democracy is pretty bad. Look at the state of the world. But there’s a difference between being anti-democratic and pushing a clearly even worse government design as if it has observably more merit.

      For those you might need to define and defend your stance a bit more carefully. but is that really unfair?

  No. I've never been banned for being incendiary and I use the comment section almost exclusively to criticize things, including this comment which I now feel compelled to disagree with given that my experience contradicts it.
