Banning someone for expressing opinions you disagree with falls in line with some very bad history.

My comment wasnt unsubstantive by any definition of the word. There are countless examples of the govt doing things to lose trust and that is the root cause of many of societies issues.

Banning people from a forum for expressing that thought seems counter to the guidelines you post.

The issue isn't agreeing or disagreeing. I don't have the energy to agree or disagree with most comments that get posted here. If that sounds odd, imagine how weary you'd be after doing this thirty thousand times, which apparently I have by now.

The comment was against the site guidelines. Provocative, grandiose claims on controversial topics are flamebait.
