Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gradine" data-source="post: 9891256" data-attributes="member: 57112">It seems important to point out several facts:1) This is a global community with members from around the world. While we are heavily Anglo-slanted, we are not Anglo-exclusive, and so people who are not particularly famous in some contexts are incredibly well-known in others. As the Remembrance thread is for the entire community, that means that are going to be posts that are less relevant to you than they are to other people. 2) If someone is posting in the thread, it obviously means something to someone. People have used the thread to commemorate people they know in their own lives who are neither famous nor infamous; shall we ban those posts as well?3) If the complaint is about the avoidance of political commentary, referring to government officials in sovereign nations as "rather vicious", "terrorist(s)", and/or "war criminal(s)" is not exactly helping your position. There are plenty of politicians from all sorts of nations whose deaths will absolutely be memorialized in that thread or future iterations that could be argued meet one or more of those definitions, and those editorializations are going to be as inappropriate in those instances as yours are now.</blockquote>
