What you're doing now bashing other posters is a waste of only your time. I've been here long enough to know that this place is anything but intolerant of other people's opinions. I've seen many, many occasions whereby prejudiced and offensive posts attacking entire nations, ethnicities, and genders were allowed to slide.
The administrators and moderators permit people to get away with quite a lot of things that break the site rules before they start taking action.
If you have a specific complaint about being unfairly treated, you should at least link us to the thread instead of attacking people here in general.
Disagreeing with other posters' opinions on previous communist leaders is hardly a reason to get upset even if everyone here disagreed with you. Socialists look to the future more so than into the past. Differing opinions on previous events concerning communism should not be hindering the ability of socialists to work together for a brighter future.
If you look at the first page of Akecheta's intro you'll see how very welcoming the majority of posters were to her. She got into a debate with only one poster and abruptly decided that it was too much. She was going to leave sooner if not later regardless of the fact that most of the regulars here did not even bother questioning her on the authenticity of her backstory.
What she really wanted was to promote her Facebook page, which she could have easily done had she been more diplomatic and left the link on her profile page; yet she insisted on it being posted in the open thread and insisted that everyone believe her on her relations.
That's not the way to go about things. In her case it's excusable because she's still a kid in her teens, but you're an adult; and responsible adults would follow the words of wisdom quoted above you yourself used and believe in.
