On June 03, 2020, I created a thread titled "A common sense solution to racist policing". This thread obeyed all the rules for the General Discussion forum in Evo's thread "General Discussion Forum rules." Even though my thread followed all the rules that Evo stated for the General Discussion subforum, my thread was deleted without any explanation.

Why was my thread "A common sense solution to racist policing" deleted?

Also, I created another thread on the "Art, Linguistics, music, and history" subforum titled "Opposite attitudes towards manual labor in Old South & Nazi Germany" that was deleted. This thread also followed all the rules for this message board and was deleted without any explanation for no apparent reason. What is going on?

We've deemed these topics too heated and politically attached to live productively here. They also contained personal theories.

I understand why you think that the "A common sense solution to racist policing" is too heated to discuss here. I'm very surprised that you think that a thread comparing and contrasting attitudes towards manual labor in the Old South & in Nazi Germany would be too heated to live productively here lol

We're not going to wait for Goodwin's Law to take effect? We're going to open up with it?

Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

A political/history forum would be better for those subjects.
Reddit?
