Your defense against your own posts being removed is fair enough and I can agree with, but your call for removing trident's post is what I'm not on board with. Frankly if it was up to me everyone would have radical free speech short of posting slander, actual child pornography, the nuclear codes, etc...

I don't really want trident's post to be banned. I had a post banned about a guy who was put in prison for ordering a child sex doll and I said that it shouldn't be a crime to fuck plastic no matter what it looks like, so I'm more upset about the double standards than anything.

Also, yes, I admit to weaponizing saidit users hatred of pedophiles to garner support for my personal crusade against soundsituation's moderation policies, I don't really want the rules around discussing taboo subjects to be this heavy handed. Perhaps that wasn't the right thing to do, it certainly seems like it was a bit of bad faith on my part, so I'll reflect on that

This is the problem with removing anything.

The second you do you open up a can of shit and you're liable for everything.

I wish they'd ban nothing and just make the hide post button an actual button, so when you've read the post you're more likely to tap it.

You know what, you are absolutely right. In my eagerness to damage the credibility of soundsituation I ended up advocating for a position against the principles I'm supposedly making a fuss about and making trident collateral damage. I don't want to be that guy, and will approach this differently in the future.

That's cool.
