Hello Toranaga-Sama ,

I've been a moderator since before MTW and I know that we have several no bashing polices for a long time. One being no bashing patrons, another being no bashing countries and the third being no bashing CA. In some cases we even have patrons who work for CA so they belong to two of those groups and I assume the middle one too as they are living breathing humans of some nation or other.

Now bashing is different from (constructive) criticism. Although giving a diet plan to a spouse after she puts on a new dress may appear to be constructive criticism it would not be received as such. So it isn't just what is said it is delivery. So say what is wrong, say how you would like it to be and if possible show how you would achieve the solution. Most of all make the statement as palatable and polite as possible.

Since Taliban are the modern equivalent of Nazis it is not palatable, it is not polite to compare anyone to them, it invokes Godwin's law. There is a statement of what is wrong, but not much mention of what is right and how you would like it to be, let alone how you would achieve a solution. In short it is a cheap bash, far below your posts of yesteryear.

Please take the attitude of the samurai, even if you are going to kill a guy you have no reason to be disrespectful. As your manners reflect not on those you cuss but on yourself.

Please modify your posts to reflect your inner spirit, and your far more generous posting style of old.

Yours Respectfully,
Papewaio
