Mocking PUBLIC Figures in a thread

Posted on by TankaS

One of my recent comments was deleted by Mark JM without reading the thread in context. Reference: https://breakingnewsandreligion.online/2020/04/30/celibacy-and-other-sexual-orientations-within-the-catholic-church/ I was discussing giving blood with JP Bunny and THANKED him for giving blood, and then compared that to the TOPIC of the thread — the very PUBLIC Anti-Gay figure Franklin Graham, ending by calling GRAHAM a…

Thanks.

A suggested addition for “Guidelines for The Den”: When a person comes to the Den to complain about another CM or Mod, you must tag the relevant people involved so they know they’re being discussed.

Posted on by Obey

Hi Guys I flagged some clearly homophobic remarks from Smiley  in this thread: They are still up. Are they allowed under both the homophobic rules and the personal attack rule ?
