Believe it or not, freedom of speech (like on this forum) also means that some will say that Putin is great (even if every sane person knows that he's just another war criminal) and their posts are allowed. You have to either grow a thicker skin, either press the ignore link. As simple as that.
Hear, hear.
I think it goes without saying that we've got members here whose lives are being directly affected by the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and emotions surrounding that are running high, and that's understandable. But the fact remains that Theymos has yet to make any proclamations about censorship regarding that or any other political topic, and unless he or any of the moderators take actions like what OP was threatened with, this is a case of a member throwing his weight around and making empty threats.
This situation reminds me of the Turkish board dispute sometime back.
I know what you're talking about and remember that debacle well, but this seems more over-the-top than some case of clannish-ness on the part of a local board. That's likely because there are some serious issues behind what's being said with respect to war crimes and such. Even so, there's no excuse for trying to silence someone for dissent on this forum. That goes against everything I've come to love and respect about bitcointalk.
