There is no way to point out global terrorism statistics without sounding like an asshole to somebody. There is no way to point out what hundreds of millions of Muslims believe without sounding like an asshole to somebody.

You don't need to worry about sounding like an asshole to "somebody" - you just need to follow the rules you agreed to follow when you signed up here. That's it.

You're making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

Yes, like actual discussion instead of automatically smearing someone as a racist or Nazi sympathizer for being against censorship. Some people refuse to have intellectually honest conversations because they are far Right/far Left absolutists and they will use any means necessary to censor you or smear you in order to prevent you from being heard. In order to prevent your point of view from being understood by not just themselves, but everyone. This book burning mentality needs to be looked down upon, not enabled.

Agreed, but that does not need to come at the cost of basic decency.

If you have a halfways decent worldview, left or right, even far left or far right, you can express it politely and in a way that won't get you modded here. I argued with someone years ago - back when the rules were more draconian than they are now - who earnestly believed that women were not cut out for being breadwinners and that they should leave it to the men. I've argued with someone else on this board who has literally said that he believes poor people should be temporarily sterilized, because they keep having too many kids and being a drain on the system. If they can voice views like that and not get modded, I'm pretty confident you can too.

And if your views are so utterly noxious that they're somehow - by their very nature - against the GameFAQs ToS regardless of how politely you express them, I think that says a lot more about you than GF.
