Bashing doesn't equal all criticism. There used to be a sticky post up for ages talking about said difference.
I added "Free debate is allowed and encouraged as long as it is civil" to "No Anti-Q or Anti-Tump bashing" to go along with the rule and clarification in the previous rule post. The rule distinguishes between good faith criticism and constructive criticism against bad faith criticism, destructive criticism and ad hominem, hence why "bashing" is what the rule is against and not merely anti-Q or anti-Trump posts generally.
After seeing his other post, "Trump Partying With His Pedophile Friends," I didn't look for the fine nuance in this other post by someone who calls himself "hitler_was_right." It's good to know we have a moderator who knows the fine points about the right and wrong way to bash Trump.
If you think OP is wrong, tell him so. Poal's cultural attitude of downvoting only spam or off-topic posts is to create a community of people who articulate their disagreement or move on by agreeing to disagree. Being disdainful of disagreement does not promote free speech.
