It’s 4 days late, but I’ll wade in.

It’s possible to express an opinion without being an asshole about it. That’s what Rule 1 is about. Not censorship.

I don’t like (factual) Y about country X. <- Doesn’t breach Rule 1.

The people in country X are all shit stains <- Breaches Rule 1.

Diplomatic honesty is fine (at least with me).
What isn’t fine are:

• Personal attacks,
• Doxxing, trolling, sealioning,
• attacks on whole groups of people because of:
  • stereotypical characteristics.
  • ingroup-outgroup bias,
  • readily disprovable dis/misinformation.

In summary, respectful debate is welcome. Nastiness is not.
