European Tribune - Comments - Spellbound by Dalai Lama

He was nasty about a political leader: I believe that's within the bounds of acceptable discussion. We don't ban people for disagreeing with us.

If he's wrong, correct him.

Re: To moderator of ET (none / 0)

Nastiness can be attributed to only 2 of his (or her) 4 statements, if the first is factually incorrect, the last statement is abuse. If this is OK to you I am sorry, but there is fundamental flaw in rules of this forum, anywhere on the web such posts are automatically detected and deleted.

Re: To moderator of ET (4.00 / 2)

Nonsense: neither being a Chinese nationalist or being a believer in Chinese government propaganda is a banning offence around here, or on any other forum with sane rules. That comment does not, as far as I can see, rise to anywhere near the level of gross hate speech that would justify banning.

We can't go around banning people just because they insult and abuse world leaders: there would be nobody left here in that case.
