[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8030799, member: 7808"] I'm not a mod, obviously, but I could instantly see where you crossed the line in that thread and knew you would be moderated. The thread you were in is one of the borderline cases here at ENWorld (just like Satanic Panic threads that I mentioned earlier). It's literally straddling the line of where the current state of WotC and the current climate meets up with a pure political discussion. They're always touchy. However, your comment, "You cannot sell left wing politics to conservatives and the further left you go, the fewer moderates you can sell it to" was purely political. You may have thought you were putting it in the context WotC, but you didn't. It was way too general of a statement, and directly named political groups. That's going to get you every time. If you had instead said something like "You cannot force inclusivity on old school gamers, and the more extreme you go, the fewer gamers you can sell it to", it would have meant a similar thing. But it would have been in context of RPGs, and not named specific political sides. It would have probably been safe (ignoring the rest of the post, obviously). Oh, come on. [/QUOTE]
