Everyone’s ideas deserve a place here, no matter what it is. I agree, some deckhands are a bit harsh, but there is always a reason. I would suggest asking (politely and respectfully) for their reasoning behind their point. Earlier on this Fo’Rum, I was disagreeing with many of the current concepts, and was sort of (looking back) worrying over nothing. I am a nobody, not a ‘big voice’ as you say, but everyone’s voice matters. The deckhands, on this Fo’Rum, rule above us all. Ask them why your post was shut down. It could simply be that you picked a controversial topic, and they shut it down because it was becoming too heated (through no fault of your own). They need to look out for the community, not for any individuals.
