Was it really necessary to make a second post in here? It looks like you are still beating a horse that's already been dead for some days, and by doing so, you're burying some other threads that may be important. At least more important than "I got my post deleted in a thread moderators aren't suppose to act", it was deleted, might have been the right or wrong thing to do, but for the love of god; let it go

Based on evidence that I discovered after my previous post, I drew a reasonable inference that my posts were reported due to political disagreement with my opinions. How is staff handling of politically motivated reports not an important issue for Meta?

This is a private forum—a private forum where the freedom of speech is a cause dear to the administration, to the community, and most of all, to regulars of the Wall Observer. Whether or not one agrees with the opinions that I have expressed, the real issue hereby is everybody’s practical ability to express controversial opinions unimpeded.

As always, it is only comfortable to defend speech when you agree with it. I stand here on principle. If I wanted a forum with more like minds, then I would go elsewhere—here, if staff were to delete from WO e.g. nutildah’s utterly execrable pushing of hallucinogenic drug use, then I would be the first to object. Where do you stand?

Whereas for those who desire to suppress the expression of illiberal opinions, the worst speech of all is that which expresses forbidden ideas cogently. The crude remarks of troglodytes are easy to dismiss; and indeed, liberals oft enjoy holding up as strawmen the worst examples of their opposition.

Reductio ad absurdum, I doubt that 1miau would have reported r0ach’s posts—for r0ach was and is the butt of jokes, including my own. I am obviously no cockroach: I may be feared or hated, but not despised. My posts may thus cause cognitive dissonance—or worst of all, the danger that someone may actually agree with me!

By the way, I observe that some of my prior WO posts (not the deleted ones) may be illegal to publish in Germany. (Possibly. #justsaying. This is not a formal legal opinion, but I do know something of this subject.) I always choose my words carefully: It was not for nothing that I remarked that I had said things that “even Björn Höcke would not dare to say”. But it does not matter, for this forum is located in the United States; and the forum’s administration does not obey the censorship laws of Germany, Kazakhstan, Red China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, et al.

P.S., if you are German, then don’t vote—democracy is a SCAM, and all of the parties are bad. But if you do vote, then vote for AfD! :-)

Well, this time you haven't fed the trolls, you've fed nullius. May the gods have mercy on your soul.

Quotable. And you owe me another new keyboard—coffee, etc. Merits are hereby held in abeyance for the moment. I am trying to save them for something else; you have taken too many!

Quote from: Nietzsche, Die fröhliche Wissenschaft (The Gay Science), I.31.

Der verkappte Heilige.

Dass dein Glück uns nicht bedrücke,
Legst du um dich Teufelstücke,
Teufelswitz und Teufelskleid.
Doch umsonst! Aus deinem Blicke
Blickt hervor die Heiligkeit!

Quote from: Nietzsche, Also sprach Zarathustra

Ihr seht nach Oben, wenn ihr nach Erhebung verlangt. Und ich sehe hinab, weil ich erhoben bin.
