For what it's worth, I agree with you, on issues like this where people have differing beliefs, no one side should be instituted by force, freedom of belief is a cornerstone of a healthy democratic society.

I do think it is funny that the mods have strict rules about criticizing their performance, meanwhile they can't be bothered to even show up at VG. Been saying it for years, the biggest problem with VG is the majority of mods are trash.

In relation to Grok AI helping firing missiles into Iran that are responsible for one of the gravest war crimes in US history, the double tap massacre of 165+ at Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab.

Elon Musk lives in the US that has carried out 47 executions in 2025.

So a call that Elon Musk should be executed as a warm criminal is not a call for violence, in this context it's a call for accountability and justice.

It's always convenient to leave out the context and twist words.

And no doubt he meant that to say "war criminal."

That's perfect phrasing! It absolutely is using force to make someone tacitly agree with something that goes against your beliefs. Imagine if some mod came down and said you could be banned for using the term undocumented immigrant. And again, absolutely none of this shit is explicitly in the rules. 

Speaking of not safe for work, lol.

"Lmao get fucked cunt"

Not that it matters, the mods are hot garbage.

I forget sometimes how Americans react so strongly to the "c word", whereas in most other English speaking countries like Australia, the UK, New Zealand, etc it's hardly a big deal.

Having said that, with all due respect, if a mere rude word offends you more than corporate shittiness or being told you don't own the things you've purchased, I think you have your priorities wrong.

I don't think it helps to insult the mods either.

Don't confuse being offended with my original point pages ago.  My original point was VG isn't safe for work.  A few people questioned what I meant, and I am using this an example.  In addition to calling for execution, assassinations, murder, domestic terrorism, threatening to stab forum members, etc.

Point being I am not offended, but merely demonstrating, VG isn't safe for work.

As for insulting mods, I have to chortle.  There is a good chance they don't even bother showing up to VG to check what is going on.  Even if they did, what are they going to do?  Ban someone who barely posts?  My point is pretty simple.  For years I have been saying we have a mod problem, many questioned me for said position.  But the reality is, which (IMO) this thread proves, we do in fact have a mod problem.    

Honestly, you shouldn't be using your job's computer network for anything but working. That's on you. Every employer has a policy on using company resources for things like this.

Granted I'm not familiar with every other user's workplace, but if they don't have an issue with using video game forums at work, I doubt me using a swear word is going to make much difference.
