That’s some impressive mental gymnastics you have there. “Temporary” lol. It’s still censorship, no matter how you slice it.
I hear your point, I do. Sometimes though you just have to deal. It’s the cost of having free speech.
What do you do when a stranger walks up to you and blurts out retarded things?
Deal with it myself instead of whining to someone else to do it for me.
And what does dealing with it yourself entail? Asking them to hush, go away?
I.E. a temporary block of communication irl
You know how you accomplish that on an internet forum? A temporary restriction on topic posting ability, not total ban or silencing of an account.
There's a very simple way to govern that process as well. Mod transparency reports.
