Removed several posts that basically repeated the same thing again and again. This is a place to discuss, not lobby.

Those of you who add insults into your otherwise helpful posts do a disservice to those asking advice because the insult containing posts just get deleted and nobody gets helped. If you disagree with someone's advice it's easy to do so without insults, which have been removed.

If you're curious about why your posts keep vanishing, please re-read the header at the top of this section and stop insulting each other.

Removed some insults and name calling. I could have sworn Charlie laid out the ground rules in English.

Had to do a lot of cleaning up and removing posts. If your debating skills are so poor that you have to insult each other and each other's nationalities, please go elsewhere. To the rest of you who can argue passionately and still keep it civil, thank you. Please carry on. 🙂

An unnecessarily combative post was removed.

Removed another name calling post and a link with no comment. Discuss in your own words and use links to provide sources or further reading/viewing, don't just paste links at each other please.

Name calling removed.

I'm getting really tired of the insults, not limited to cults, mental illnesses, derangement, etc, etc. If you want to participate in this new forum, abide by our Community Standards. If you can't, we can arrange for you to watch from the sidelines. Update: We're not going to let this place deteriorate into people pasting links at each other. If you have a point to make and want to add a link to back up your discussion, fine, but if you simply want to paste things in with little or none of your own input then expect them to be removed without notification. This is a discussion forum. Discuss.

Removed an off topic link. Discuss the topic, rather than just pasting links at each other. Bots can do that.

Just to be clear, public discussion of royal finances is not allowed.

Removed a troll post, and another that wasn't in English.

Removed a post that was in poor taste.

Removed some insults, misquotes, and off-topic bickering. Also, don't report posts where you insult a person and they answer back. As we've said many times, moderators aren't there to protect you from arguments you willingly engage in. Report, ignore, move on.

Removed an overly graphic image (Yes, I'm aware it won a Pulitzer) that wasn't necessary to tell the story.

More posts removed. There will be no further warning. Account action from now on.

Removed some misinformation, that is not welcome here, as well as posts replying/quoting it. There's plenty of places to talk medical conspiracy theories. Aseannow is not one of them.

Hid a personal attack from someone who should know better.

As this topic has a lot of information that is apparently incorrect, I'm going to close it and hopefully knowledgeable people can start a new one, with citations from reliable sources.

Cleaned up some personal attacks and antisemitism. Won't be tolerating any more of either.

Removed a post with a dubious source.

Removed some unnecessary bickering. I remind you all that the report button is for reporting serious issues, not for registering disagreement with someone. Multiple misuse of reports can trigger account action.

Removed some bickering over a six month old post.

Removed an off-topic discussion.

Some posts containing or quoting misinformation were removed.
