And I've explained to both you and them many times that the point is irrelevant. And you are completely ignoring that and continue talking about the point of the comparison, which is again, completely irrelevant to my actual criticism.
I wasn't aware that saying it's wrong to compare genocide to getting gently poked in the ribs was a bannable offense but I'll be happy to spread the word for you if that's the case. Do it or don't, your threats mean nothing to me, because I'm obviously in the right and any reasonable person would agree the comparison is distasteful.
Imagine if you just lost your father, and I came up to you and said, "Hey, y'know, compared to the Holocaust, your dad dying is a walk in the park." Regardless of whether the point of that comparison is valid or not, it is still clearly minimizing your loss in a way that is extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. There are Palestinians who are losing their loved ones every day, and it's completely possible that some of them could be on Lemmy, seeing their loss getting compared to "getting gently poked in the ribs." It's bad enough that you think that comparison is acceptable, but to suggest that disagreeing with the appropriateness of that comparison is "trolling" and so unacceptable that it should be removed is completely beyond the pale.
