If the situation is parallel, why can't se discuss it in that thread? Don't you see that your positions would be a lot less controversial if you didn't use your admin powers to silence those who criticise them?
I think its ridiculous that you can bring up "Islamic terrorism" but BobK can't call you out about the inconsistent stance here on Israel. Its absolutely relevant and I think your post is very poignant - indeed, the repressors are the only ones to blame for the repression they enact. That's not "off-topic" and I think its very abusive for you to silence this kind of criticism. Maybe its not off-topic here.
