        No thanks!

        So, just to be clear, are you saying you’d rather not keep this thread free of personal attacks and instead focus on discussing the article?

          I’d rather not have others tell me what I’m allowed to talk about. I seem to recall there being a concern about limiting personal expression, no? Let’s not limit anyone’s respectful expression please! If you take issue with personal expression, please write a letter to Thomas Jefferson to lodge your complaint because I did not draft the United States Constitution. Thanks!

            I’m not sure what you mean.

            There are plenty of communities on Lemmy where you are free to have your personal expression though. And since your comments would be attached to your username, this isn’t a matter of censorship. It’s a matter of following community guidelines for this particular community.

            If you feel the community should allow for more personal attacks, please contact the mod team with your concerns.

            But as of now, this is a political news community, and to engage with me personally, I’d prefer to just talk about the politics of the article instead of personal attacks.

            Multiple baseless accusations such as that I’m not human, or that I am not a US citizen are not respectful. Implying that I am pro-Trump, after I have told you several times that you’re incorrect, is not respectful and these are examples of personal attacks.

            When you get personal, it takes away from the spirit of this community. If you have a problem with any of the news articles that I have posted or if you don’t feel they fit the theme of this community, please feel free to contact the mods. Thank you!

              I don’t think that recommending that you contact the writers of the Constitution is a personal attack. If you think that, please write a letter to Miriam Webster to express your disdain with the English language. I actually did not create the English language, so actually, please express your concerns to Anglo Saxons in the year 500 AD. Thanks!

                You’ve made your personal opinion of me quite clear. As I’ve mentioned several times, I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the articles posted from here on out, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Thank you!

                  I believe we should allow free expression of thought, otherwise we will need to send harshly worded letters to barbarians from Saxony and Thomas Jefferson. I did not create the Constitution or the English language, so I think we’d be better off sticking with the topic of how your canvassing is not convincing. Thanks for your opinion about the United States Constitution, the English language being different than you understood it, and [directive not found, error code: jag$e(jsk628sgna] though!
