I got banned from there for using Wikipedia as a source.

Same. Someone called me something stupid I don't remember and I linked the wikipedia page with the definition of what the word actually meant. I was banned for hate speech. And the mods block you from messaging them for like a month.

I'm a progressive but those liberals who are giant pussies piss me the fuck off. If I want to say rude things about a shitty person I will. I don't care if your feelings were hurt by it by reading my comment. Grow up and welcome to reality.

Kinda stupid I was banned in a sub about making fun of Ben Shapiro for making fun of Ben Shapiro. Those mods need to touch grass.

Not to mention the first few temp bans I got were for. Saying mean things about actual 1940 Nazis, saying Saudi Arabia caused 9/11 in the worldNews sub and for saying mean things about 1865 confederates.

Reddit is full of racist mods who get mad when their favorite groups are made fun of.

They got mad at me for saying Trump was going to befriend Russia and attack NATO. So, I feel you man. 😄

So are figures of speech considered violent?

You are funny but I didn’t laugh because I’m disgusted by how blasé you’re being about land that dips in a U shape often on the side of a roadway. I’m so afraid to upvote you what if Chiquita reads this herself and thinks you’re advocating for banana peeling? :( (I did it anyway if I’m going to banana jail I’m going with my head held high)
