"Too ranty" for GD or IMHO?

OK - I know I said I wouldn’t do this, but without going past the first page, how is this thread qualitatively different than mine, such that the OP was not immediately closed. It describes a cultural practice as “grotesque” in its title, refers to “Chinese lowlifes” and alleges animal torture for pleasure not supported by the linked source. I seriously do not see a workable distinction.

And given this:

I find it amusing that my closed thread is currently adjacent to “Why should I PERSONALLY care about politics”! :smiley:

MH - just because YOU personally think a specific action minor, does not mean that someone else should willingly undertake it. And does not mean that person is unreasonable or interested in merely “ranting.” To again cite the Chinese animal eating thread - that poses “a debate vs an emotional argument about an emotional rant”?
