I mean I wouldn’t argue about you doing your job in politics.

You should if you have a problem with it.

If you have an issue with me as a moderator, airing it out in public is not the way to do it.

That’s fair, I just didn’t see it as appropriate to DM you, and I don’t know any other way to contact you.

It’s not good for either community.

I’m not speaking on behalf of politics, it has nothing to do with this. I’m just an individual person.

I do not feel that I need a long argument to justify why I sometimes delete a comment using a word that the people who it is used against find offensive.

I agree, it would depend on the context, but we would probably delete it in politics too.

And when someone not just ignores what I have to say about it, but claims what I have posted says the literal opposite of what it says, then yes, I am going to shut that conversation down.

I agree if someone does that it’s deceptive. But at that point just don’t respond, or say you’re not going to respond because of that. I don’t respond all the time, sometimes I have nothing to add I haven’t already said, sometimes I don’t have time, sometimes I just don’t want to. I just don’t like the idea of telling someone to drop a topic under threat
