I am here to discuss. You're the one who has failed to refute my point.

If you want to continue to fail to refute my point, then thats fine. Just admit that you believe the rules apply to others but not yourself. Just admit that you believe that others should be censored while you should not.

I explained that I saw a difference in two different behaviours, and explained why. You responded that it was a “wall of text”, reiterated your initial statement, and did not engage with anything I had said. That’s not discussion.

If you walk into the cat-appreciation room, rather than the dog-appreciation room, and start going on about how dogs are much better than cats, I don’t think it’s censorship for you to be told to talk about it next door in the dog-appreciation room. It would be censorship to shut the dog-appreciation room, or make sure nobody could hear what you said in the dog-appreciation room, or whatever.

Not being able to talk about every single topic in every single space in any way you want isn’t censorship in the same way that shutting down easy access to spaces where you can discuss every single topic in any way you want is. I am fine with the former, and oppose the latter.

You're still refusing to address the point I raised. Just admit that I'm right and you have failed to provide anything to counter my point.
