Yes. Jacky,
or anyone else, would you like to share the problematic posts so we can get a better idea of what's allowed and what's not? Here are mine,

Biomed is fair. Nobody can complain he favors one side or the other. My theory is that he's overworked and underpaid, like probably $0, so he doesn't always have time to study the original post and think about the bigger picture. You're focused on the trees so you miss the forest. When you've got thousands of posts a day to moderate and somebody hits the RTM button, you don't have a lot of time to figure things out.

If so they should be merged and a review done of whether they go off topic.

Please make up your mind Vitaman. You frequently complain about MAGA’s going off topic, sometimes when they’re not. See this search for username “Vitaman” and keyword “topic,”

Now you’re complaining about me creating threads so I won’t go off topic and won’t get pointed. You posted the comments above in a green energy thread I created, to reply to something Day of the Eagle posted in a thread on tariffs. If my OP had appeared in the tariffs thread, I definitely would have been off topic.
(Aside: if you look at the totality of Day of the Eagle's post, he wasn't off topic.)
All my “to avoid going off topic” threads IMO were as or more likely to receive infractions as two of the three links in my reply to Jacky above, if my OP’s been left in the original threads.
I personally like hearing other peoples’ points of view. It would be great to have a real Marxist or anarchist in this forum. Or a Proud Boy or John Bircher. If any of us don’t like that, we’re always free to post in the comments sections in the Washington Post, if you’re on the left, or Wall Street Journal if you’re on the right. Or better yet, X , where you can hide replies you don’t like, or Truth Social. Why should Donald Trump and Elon Musk have all the fun anyway?
