That’s not the topic at hand. At all. The topic is whether or not conservatives are just as whiny as liberals, and the topic of people assuming posts to be fake is completely irrelevant to the topic of whether or not conservatives are just as whiny as liberals, but that does not change the fact that your claim that there is a rule that people cannot respond to a post as if it’s a troll was demonstrably false. There is a guideline that people should try to take them serious, that’s a very different thing in multiple ways. Also, as per the Terms & Conditions, Is It Normal reserves the right to delete anything they want and ban anybody they want, for any reason or no reason at all. There is nothing “that you cannot be banned for” on this site.
EDIT: Just to refresh your memory, the reason you went off topic from the topic at hand was to claim that people were responding the way they were because following the guidelines. I was simply revealing the hole in that logic by pointing out that they were not following other guidelines, so that was quite related to the topic indeed.
The topic that I was talking about is not the topic of the post. It doesn't matter if it's relevant to the topic of the post; it only matters that it's relevant to the current discussion. The Community Guidelines are rules. They literally say, "Do These Things" and "Do Not Do These Things". I was suggesting that breaking the Community Guidelines is not nearly as likely to get you banned as breaking the Member Code of Conduct. The topic at hand was always about the rules, rather than the post. You attempted to change the topic at hand to a topic related to another post.
I will summarize what happened as clearly and succinctly as possible so there’s no doubt about what happened.
-The topic at hand was whether or not conservatives are as whiny as liberals.
-Somebody cited another post as an example of conservatives being as whiny as liberals, staying on topic.
-You attempted to change the topic completely to a discussion about why conservatives were whining, no longer on the topic of whether or not they are as whiny as liberals, by making the bizarre claim that guidelines are rules that must be followed despite the fact that the words “should” and “try” are used, which suggests otherwise.
-I pointed out your claim was inaccurate for the reason listed above, and then pointed out the lack of logic in your reasoning that they were simply following one guideline by pointing out that they were not following other guidelines. That’s the topic you brought up and I was directly addressing the topic that you brought up.
-You then made the equally bizarre claim that I said something unrelated to the topic, despite the fact that it was directly related to a topic you brought up, so I pointed out that if I was off topic, you were certainly off topic, since it was the same topic.
IIN I’m finding conservatives just as whiny as liberals?

I hope this cleared things up for you.
