**Moderating:** Warning for @Velocity for posting abhorrent views. This is so clearly into the realm of Abhorrent views, wishing death upon 10 million Russians in this case. We have examples of you wishing for nuclear exchanges. And other strangely abhorrent views. None of this will be tolerated again, next comes suspensions and that can lead to a ban. This means anywhere on the board. Not just P&E. From the [Terms of Service](https://boards.straightdope.com/tos): > **Abhorrent views** > > **Abhorrent views.** If you express yourself in a way we consider to be beyond the pale of civil discussion, whether in style or substance, we will warn you to stop, specifying what it is we want you to cease doing, on penalty of losing your posting privileges. This rule applies in all forums. To cite an infamous example, we don’t want to hear defenses of pedophilia. We invoke this rule infrequently and are not trying to suppress discussion of sensitive topics. We cannot anticipate everything we would consider abhorrent and do not maintain a list of proscribed views. Except in extreme cases, we will provide the offending party with a warning before taking further action. > [@Velocity](#): > > But again, we’d need something like 10 million Russian dead instead of a few hundred thousand to truly make any meaningful dent in climate change - or overpopulation, for that matter.

Amazingly, it still holds democratic elections during this time. Candidate A, if elected, will exterminate 12 million people in death camps. Candidate B, if elected, will exterminate 11 million people in death camps. There are third parties that advocate that there be no genocide at all, but they stand no chance of winning the election due to their tiny size and voter base. You are anti-genocide. You are repeatedly told by people and media that… Please note I took the time to consult with other mods before this action. We all agreed, that this was very serious. Personal note, I was military during the Cold War when Russia was the big bad. I firmly support Ukraine over Russia, but this is just far, far too much even for someone like me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russia-invades-ukraine-the-regional-situation/995349)._
