It is certainly interesting that substantive posts that are non-incendiary and respectful tend to remain up, and those that fling copious amounts of fecal mass into the oscillating air-mover tend to be removed. It is equally interesting that the more offensive posts that break several of the Community Standards get removed, almost as if the rules were being followed. As well, it is also of a small comfort to see that those who are attempting to derail entire conversations by attacking participants in an active conversation have those derailing posts removed. One can hope that this will lead to a more cohesive Community in the future, once said Community rediscovers that it is not difficult to adhere to Community Standards, and only requires a few ounces of the strange mortal commodity known as 'empathy'.
