Please see the Brazil thread -- apologies-- if this has been reported (etc.)
I am utterly confused by the 'rules.' Some of the posts in the thread are are out of line and I think might even feel threatening to some. Maybe this reads as censorship but I do not believe that terroristic behavior, even when masked as immature, tongue-in-cheek, "wit" -- should be countenanced. Some of the posters are advocting rape or tacitly giving it their approval. This is beyond politics and ideology, it's just depraved.

Hope you'll do something. Naturally, addressing this issue via a post and now via an appeal to the Moderator will open me up to all kinds of nonsense.

Cheers.

It would help the mods do their job if you posted the link to the thread specified.

Advocating rape? I'd like to see what posts have advocated such harsh actions.

I deleted a couple of posts that were over the line. Most of the rest that would be offensive are sarcasm in very bad taste, but not a rules violation.
