It is most interesting when I make factual and respectable comments, they're far more likely to be downvoted than my opinionated comments.

I apologize for re-submitting the meme but apparently the original did not meet the Politics stream requirements according to at least one moderator.

The original:

If this meme, too, does not meet your standards, I would rather the mod open a discussion with me so that I may voice my real concerns. Personally, I find that there are many memes in the Politics stream to be far more deserving of removal than this one.

I'm not attacking any one individual. I'm trying to be courteous and constructive with my criticisms. It seems there is a disagreement about what is and isn't a fact. That is most alarming in the political arena and I think it's very important that it be discussed even if it may hurt some people's feelings.

Your personal experience is called "anecdotal"

Very true! But it pertains to the site and there is obviously a trail mods can easily follow. I respect their jobs and I get that emotions run high, especially in the Politics Stream. Originally my complaint was personal and got flagged so I broadened the complaint so it could be discussed without singling anyone out. Apparently, according to the rules, I singled myself out? That's the best explanation I can think as to why my original meme was removed.

It does appear the Politics stream residents have no interest in following their own guidelines.

On person's persistence is another person's harassment.

I assure you, the original comment, which has been deleted by mods, was pure harassment and nothing more.
