It's always the "freedom of thought" people who are trying to police other people's thoughts.

I have thought about this more and it really angers me. You need to learn what the term thought police means. I in no way called for its removal, asked it to moderated by others, I think so many people blame things they don’t agree with using terms they don’t truly understand and I am done with it.

Pointing out you disagree with someone’s tactic, or you personally disengage because of how it’s written is in no way thought police. Thought police is when I tell you what your allowed to think and try to force you into my ideas. I have zero interest in policing your thoughts I do have interest in seeing content that welcomes conversation which should be the point of HN but again I reminded if you don’t think like is your thoughts are not welcome here.

I didn’t police anyone’s thoughts I highlighted the stupidity of offending 50 percent of the population in your opening lines. I don’t care which side your on, it’s a poor way to get people to listen. I welcome his tactic as and believe it totally distracts from a important conversation.
