In light of the recent bans on people that post things that others find annoying I can no longer enjoy this site in good conscious (probably getting banned for criticizing the regime running this thing anyway). That is absolutely no different than what China & Twitter is doing to people they want to silence. It shocking and even more shocking is how comfortable everyone has become with silencing dissenting opinions. It’s a sick behavioral pattern that doesn’t end on Fishing forums. If you can justify it here then you’ll justify it later on something more important. The dominos are falling.

If someone is not using derogatory language, is not threatening harm or violence on anyone, is not violating any social
Norm, and not a danger to anyone, is silenced simply because the powers at be found them Annoying or disagree with their takes then that platform is as Un-American as the woke socialist running Tech today. TFF is arbitrarily deciding what topics we can discuss on the site and when to enforce its “rules”. I’ve witnessed rules 7, 8, 9, & 11 broken consistently by the “in crowd” on here attacking people like Big 0’. They bring more vitriol and hate in their replies then the OP ever does. Big O’ has been called multiple names and put down constantly and he never stooped down to their level and yet he gets banned. And people are still trying to disparage Big O after and still not being stopped.

Ultimately, There is no requirement to read posts, no requirement to engage in posted threads, no requirement for you to give 2 seconds of your time to posts you disagree with, but for some that is too difficult to do. So instead they choose to attack and force out and when that doesn’t work they remove (or support the removal) those they disagree with. Eventually everyone on here will have the same opinions and thoughts and can sit around telling one another how great each other’s farts smell. Would that give you guys enough safe space to feel comfortable?

Enjoy your circle jerk gentleman.
