Being that you can read blocked or deleted posts by simply clicking "source", what's the point? Looks like a great way for mods to call attention to posts they don't want seen.

  • It's 4 days late, but I'll wade in.

    It's possible to express an opinion without being an asshole about it. That's what Rule 1 is about. Not censorship.

    I don't like (factual) Y about country X. <- Doesn't breach Rule 1.

    The people in country X are all shit stains <- Breaches Rule 1.

    Diplomatic honesty is fine (at least with me).
    What isn't fine are:

    • Personal attacks,
    • Doxxing, trolling, sealioning,
    • attacks on whole groups of people because of:
      • stereotypical characteristics.
      • ingroup-outgroup bias,
      • readily disprovable dis/misinformation.

    In summary, respectful debate is welcome. Nastiness is not.

  • Remember Rule 1 people.

    • British woman and husband found dead after failed Atlantic crossing

    Jump

  • By the sounds of it, they had a lot of miles under their belt.

    You have to wonder how they ended up dead? What happened to the EPIRB? Did they not have a PLB? GPS and Portable Radio?

  • I don't know for sure, but I suspect there aren't many pirates in the middle of the Atlantic.

  • I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don't have it turned on.

    AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.
