<p>[QUOTE="Restitutor, post: 7615753, member: 112621"]This is probably far too political for a coin thread but here it goes anyway. There’s a definite far-right element that feels emboldened posting online lately no matter the topic. If mods <u>only</u> deleted those comments it would give into these peoples general feelings of persecution. These people are already pretty darn snowflakey and targeting them specifically would only make matters worse. By deleting an entire thread, the far-right wingers can perhaps fool themselves into believing it was taken down because of the “woke/liberal” people; if those people didn’t exist, they’d be able to keep talking how they used to in “the good old days”. If I was a mod I know I’d also just take down the entire thread too. It’s a win-win. The left side of the thread will just shrug, move on and get back to talking about coins and the far-right side won’t go ballistic and likely further harass the forum and even mods directly since they weren’t discretely targeted. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2¢ as someone who spends an embarrassingly large amount of time perusing social media.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
