    You can say what a terrible person he was without celebrating his death.

    Just like the Charlie Kirk responses:

    “I can’t stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics.”

      You need to justify why celebrating someone’s death should not be allowed.

      I’m not advocating for anyone dying, that’s a different bowl of nuts. Virtue signalling one’s own ethical purity might get you off, but it only annoys everyone else.

          Then ban toxic posts. Don’t shoot everyone just because they don’t blow kisses at a monster.

        That’s Jordan for you. And then being smug about it too.

      And you can say it’s the 25th of December without celebrating Christmas, but the question is, why would I?

      He was a terrible person and it is fitting to celebrate that he is no longer alive to impose his views through policy. Not celebrating his death, just the act of him no longer living. Him dying, sad for his family. Him not being alive, good for the nation. It’s a bad rule, do better.

      Define the difference between celebration vrs elation.

      I’m not gonna throw a party but I won’t rule out a hearty chuckle a jaunty happy dance.

        Having made an initial pass of the comments, there were really very few removable. Mostly blatant rule breaking like “Good!” and “I am celebrating!”

        The rule states “bannable” but not how long. The minimum I can set is 1 day. I’d probably have gone for something in the hours range, but it is not that granular. 😉
