You can try. How is that working out for you? Your original comment attempting to police language was flagged and died, looks to me like you were politely shown the door.

Gosh.


It's not being gamed, the community just doesn't care for what you have to say when it's policing other people. "You can't tell me not to tell people no because then you'd be telling me no" is not a good take. You need to step back and learn from this.
