So you'd rather lie to be polite? Allow me to post Rowan Atkinson on free speech and Steve Huges... Offended? again. I couldn't agree more with them!

Definitely not! When I say offensive, I mean "insulting" and "swearing". English is not my native language, so there is always a chance I don't express myself clearly.

So, if there was a way for those of us who want to express our feelings with freedom instead of thinking about the possible negative consequences, we would be more than happy, and this privilege is available to us in this forum.

I know you might not agree, but that's fair because we humans aren't always supposed to have similar thoughts about certain things.

I understand exactly what you 're saying and it's an honest opinion. I just feel that I can express myself through my account, freely and without worrying.

But you could have two accounts, “apogio” and “cryoxxx” in which in one you say your political opinions and in the other you don't. If I were to start another account now, I would not tell anyone and I would be politically neutral, unlike this one. It is not uncommon that when someone crosses you for having a different political opinion than yours, he stops giving you merits, or gives them to you in dribs and drabs, unlike before when he had not yet realized how you thought. If you want to climb ranks with the second account it is better like that.

That's a fair argument. I get it.

May I explain myself in bullets? To make things clearer for everyone.

1. Nobody should worry about expressing themselves through their first account.
2. Nobody should swear or insult anyone. *
3. We should be polite, expressing different arguments. *
4. Creating alt accounts for me leads to essentially being worried to express ourselves freely. We can't be liked by everyone. We should be ok with that. **

*
(2) & (3) are fundamentally different as in:
- I hope you die for believing this bullshit.
- I disagree with you and I can't understand how you think this way.

I can hear the argument that swearing is freedom of speech, but I will definitely disagree and I don't think I can change my mind on this.

**
This argument can be transposed and one could say that creating alt accounts leads to being free to discuss.
The reason why I disagree is because I want people to talk freely.
But I realise that since we 're just digital personas here, this isn't the same as speaking with true identities.
