Politics and moderation

Every so often I lurk here, mostly for the PC thread, which still stands are one of the best threads on the internet. This thread of course caught my attention, and my knee jerk reaction was to list the clear and absurd imbalance of moderation when it comes to allowing violent and extreme leftist views, but then I decided it was a waste of time. As far as I am concerned two mods in particular flatly owe me apologies for their mistreatment. The moderation imbalance without a doubt makes my activity range between minimal to nonexistent. Until there is a mod shake-up, I will not be actively supporting VG.  A large part of the reason is because I check up on videogame news on a work computer.  There are comments by the left that I don't feel are safe for work.  

*and I did chortle with the current mod defense that they don't ban...  that is actually the problem.  When people call for violence, they should be banned, because you know, they called for violence.  

Wow. That sounds like a real problem. What are some examples of these violent extreme comments that are not safe for work? Also, where did you find a job where you could be browsing the internet so obviously that people around you can actually read the comments on an article? I want one.

I don't recall exact verbiage, but three items jump to mind.  Something about "we should just kill all republicans."  "We should blow up AI data centers."  "We should Luigi Mangione" AI executives.  The first one was reported and required a few of us to beg for action, and the action was sad/pathetic.  The latter I reported many times and to the best of knowledge, nothing happened, but I also took a break shortly after, so I don't know.

Science, we have delays between instrumental runs, browsing the internet is common.  I have no idea what IT can (or can't) pick up.  But those types of comments bothered me personally and professionally.  I know it is speculation, but where I see the problem is the other versions wouldn't be allowed.  We should get rid of all democrats, we should blow up woke centers, etc.  That **** would be banned immediately.  There is a clear and obvious double standard with the mods.  Anybody who thinks otherwise is foolish, IMHO.  Either way, I found other websites that actually are fair.  I only popped by to check out the PC thread, thus I will be leaving till my next lurking session.
