Only if, in your opinion, I'm a credible judge of reality.

Nope, that's true regardless of how credible I believe you are. Stating a belief is an attempt to share it and convince others of it. Whether or not that attempt succeeds depends on how well you support it and how receptive your audience is to it, but it is an attempt nonetheless.

Expressing any belief has consequences, regardless of what it is. If you don't want to risk those consequences, keep your beliefs to yourself.

So I believe something has merit... Find for me the passage within the terms of service where that is against the site rules.

Believing it? Nowhere. Expressing that belief? The expression of quite a few beliefs is expressly against the ToS. If you believed that Hitler had the right idea with the Holocaust, for example, expressing that would be no bueno. Generally speaking, these aren't explicitly spelled out so much as they lump things under vague umbrellas of "offensive," "inflammatory," "illegal," or other such things, and there's often a bit of subjectivity involved in interpreting those umbrellas, but by and large if you pay some modicum of attention to other people and what views they find particularly problematic, you shouldn't be blindsided by anything.

If you are still blindsided, that's what I mean by learning from your moderations. Insisting they were unfair and that you're somehow the victim of arbitrary persecution is precisely the opposite of how you should be responding.
