Parent Post: Tikvah the censor, and arbiter of “TRUTH”

Ironically, when [I defended myself](https://soj.ooo/p/thetruth/post/a82e7ab14f7b12ae25bce237dfe3fc0b/comment/69219) from @tikvah, @logical lectured me on her right to Free Speech (though he told you, under this Post of yours, to "*say what you want to say turkey*"); &amp; tried gaslighting me when I objected. If you scroll down the conversations in that link, you'll see that @sonatime tried a different tactic to shut me up: Flattering me as "*too wholesome and others overly reactive*" as a reason I should let it go.  
  
Speaking of sona, he tried to shut me up another time, telling me not to "*over analyze*" when I commented under a Post to notice it was "[*contradictory*](https://soj.ooo/p/joseon/post/dbd7d89d8e81efd6151503c7cf851047/comment/81324)." At the time I was distracted from responding to him by an attack from tc (which sona didn't want me responding to, either, saying I shouldn't "*overthink*" or "*waste \[my\] time*" on it); &amp; when I responded to him about it [elsewhere](https://soj.ooo/p/offensive/post/fbe74c24b500404159740e2da807beb0/comment/84490) (when I was offended by his using quotes that contradicted his trying to shut me up), he tried gaslighting me by falsely framing my pointing out the contradiction as "*guessing the motivation*." Because I wouldn't shut up, the conversation went on for some time; &amp; ended with him "muting" me (so he wouldn't be notified when I tag or respond to him, the closest one can come to blocking someone on soju). I imagine he didn't see your comment calling him "atheist," b/c he fancies himself a Christian.  
  
Regarding sona saying you "*overreact\[ed\]*" (contradicting his telling me that others "*overreacted*" to me, in a similar situation), &amp; that being banned is a "*compliment*": those are similar accusations leveled at me by others, in my first link, above. His wondering "*what a Jewish person thinks of such thing*" is disingenuous (as he knows I'm Jewish by birth, as per my profile), as is his telling you to "*inform the rest of us of an unfair behavior ... \[b/c\] the more info you provide the more we all have a chance to learn*" (considering he tried to shut me up for "*informing*," like he tried to shut you up).  
  
As for moderating people from one's pocha, I personally think it's a good idea; b/c if I were to have a pocha, I'd likely ban some people quickly b/c of their tendency to attack (Ad Hominem), distract, gaslight, etc. I'd prefer, though, that if someone is banned they shouldn't be forced to see the never-ending Posts of the one who banned them. I also think it would be a good idea to allow people to "block" others, which would mean that neither party would see the other's Posts or Comments (thereby allowing them to write about what they want, rather than be constantly irritated, baited, &amp; distracted from writing). As an aside, I have no pochas b/c by the time I figured out how this site worked (Posts are searchable, Comments \[replies\] are not; &amp; Posts give more power than Comments, once soju is turned over to members for governance), I was too disillusioned by the site to even care to write Posts (original "Posts" are followed by "Comments"). IOW, I'd put most of my effort &amp; info in Comments (wasted effort), when I could have fit them into pochas, where the info could be easily accessed).  
  
I wrote the first paragraph to point out that different people saying the same thing can receive different responses on soju (personality over content). I wrote the second paragraph to hopefully limit any cognitive dissonance you might feel from your conversation w/sona under this post of yours; &amp; so you might not feel personally targeted. I also wish we could delete posts, so as to limit (in my case) the meaningless comments I've made that clog my Comment history; &amp; so that I might be able to have private conversations &amp; share personal info w/those w/whom I resonate, w/out being interrupted &amp; distracted.
