    >Users do the bulk of the flagging, your comment was almost certainly flagged by other users for, among other things, the obvious use of one of the oldest categorized bits of messageboard flame-baiting: Well, I remain punished. While a very hot subject, not being able to discuss shocking and extreme issues based on 'flamebait' will only prevent needed discussion. Here's the thing. I dont think Trudeau is hitler. My post does not call him hitler. If anything, we got to the point where both sides of politics are calling each other hitler. What an absolute disaster.

      "I didn't call him Hitler, I just brought up a bunch of other people calling him Hitler" is still plainly a baity Godwining (via the rule of goats, if you will) and people sensibly nuked your comment. You can talk about hot subjects, just not like that.
