16. Your post was in the form of a question, not a dictate

Nevertheless, it was clear you were scolding those who scold others for what they post (inherently hypocritical?).

But to answer your question, we can't dictate to others what they can or can't post (other than reporting a post which violates terms of service).

In an online community like this we are bound to have disagreements, occasionally take offense, and express disapproval. It is appropriate to have vigorous debates in the realm of facts, ideas, and political strategy.

But we need to remember we are on the same side (aside from trolls here to disrupt and defame). Personal attacks and angry condemnation are harmful to this community and to our goals as Democrats.
