I find it rather hard to believe that I'm the only person making remarks on a locked post that has 1700+ downvotes. e.g. I do not trust the chat mechanism itself. SE has lost all trust at this point. I got 30 minutes timeout to talk to myself? How many other people are you censoring? A lot, I bet.
Shadow banning
Shadow banning (also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting) is the act of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from an online community such that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned. For instance, shadow banned comments posted to a blog or media site won't be visible to other persons accessing that site from their computers. By partly concealing, or making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope may be that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic or...

@ConspicuousCompiler @ConspicuousCompiler. Just going on what is publicly available to me but Monica seems to be a polite, conscientious and courteous. Here only sin seems to be questioning the details of a proposed change in the CoC. Yes its right that other people should be respected, and, some people are very sensitive about the issue. But forcing moderators to carefully review a posters profile before making a comment or suggestion seems like overkill.

@HostileFork meta.stackexchange.com/q/327018/216712 (Please resist the urge to post anything on that one. I'd rather not risk it being deleted.) meta.stackoverflow.com/a/389940/1394393 What's really funny is that, if I recall correctly, my answer was marked "rude/abusive" after the entire question was deleted.

@jpmc26 Well, Tim has a point: SE is not obligated to be a platform for everyone's random ideologies, they own the servers and they own the domain.
My point is that trying to solve this with some kind of fully uniform speech code kind of runs against the nature of what it means to live in a shared world. There might need to be some outside-the-box thinking here where instead of pushing harder on that code we put on some kind of blockchain-libertarian-kinda-hat and realize that whether it's Facebook or StackOverflow, we need to be wary of centralized authority and look at other approaches.
Everyone's getting all grumpy now because they're like "we made the content that made you matter!" and they're like "yeah well we're in charge!" and they're like "that's not fair!" but it's what was going to happen. Last I checked SE ignores pretty much every post that gets super upvoted on Meta as a suggestion, but then goes and does something random that one user suggested on Twitter because... public image? Uh. Yeah, #goodluckwiththat

I can't help but notice no one is deleting my post saying that I can call Donald Trump "Donald Trump" instead of "Mr. President". :-/ Selective aren't we in what we censor, here.
C'mon, block it. C'mon, you want to.
