Who is forcing you to look at it?

These type of statements boggle my mind. If people in a public chat want to discuss politics(which they no longer can obviously) then simply change the channel to another one or form a guild with people that talk about different stuff.

Whats with this "i don't like this, therefore an authority should step in and remove it" as if removing yourself from a public talk is an impossible task.

Your like somebody leaning in to people talking to one another and then calling faul when they start talking about something you dislike.

At which point people in real life go "who are you exactly, why are you eavesdropping and pretending we should care"

None of that matters... their game, their rules. They could make them as arbitrary as they want. They could ban people for saying "good luck" since it violates the will of God. Totally up to them. You have the choice of playing their game or not.

How is that relevant to my post, since i assume thats addressed to me.

I was highlighting how non-sensical the argument i was responding to is, not that GGG can't do whatever they want.

Though arguably their limitation is an infraction on the NZ constitutional law, but i assume nobody is going to go to court over this matter since we signed an agreement.(not sure if constitutional rights can be "signed off" on, would have to look that up)

It's a fascinating subject when company's no longer have to follow constitutions. Though, probably something for another thread on another forums board.

But again, not what i was responding to in my previous post, just the absurdity of claiming a dislike for something being enough to justify authoritative action.

Peace,

the hilarious thing is just how nonsensical your argument is, considering its just a flip flop of the one you're calling nonsensical yourself. which is nonsense.
but you can't see it, for whatever reason. i dunno if i'd be able to put it in words for you to be able to see it.

Try. I'll explain where i think the difference is if it doesn't make sense to you.

Im not a big fan of the "well your just to dumb to explain it to" argument.

Way to have absolutely no clue what I said. It's crazy how oblivious 80% of this forum is.

You're the oblivious one here. The dude who got banned is from Hong Kong. He has a deep personal stake in the protests, namely, his own future freedoms.

That's not being oblivious at all, that's not knowing something about the guy. Nothing I read said anything about that, and it's still kinda irrelevant.

His freedom isn't at stake at all, any more than it would be at least, nobody's is. This is all a giant chain of "What ifs". China already controls the entire Honk Kong government, they could do whatever they wanted if they wanted to do more.

Okay, so you're confirming what I already knew about you. Cool. GGG please implement a forum block function.

I can close or change the chat , ofc. But if GGG decide to ban the "bedroom protesters" i won't have to . And that's great.

So it's like i thought a mind boggling argument.

You don't like a topic and it saves you the "trouble" to move to a different channel. And im cringing when i call it trouble, because let's not pretend pressing two buttons is actually a physical exhaustion.

So selfishness combined with laziness of the extreme sort.

Also i didn't know what "bedroom protesters" meant, so i looked it up. Cheers for that now i could read up on the bedroom tax thing and learn something about whats going on in the UK.

What is that now? That I'm educated on world events, but don't care for trendy pop culture garbage?

None of what I wrote there is in any way wrong.
