Just flag or delete the thread then. The parent commenter didn't say anything egregious or explicit, they were just correctly pointing out that countries have perfectly legitimate reasons for not wanting unvaccinated visitors traveling through them. If we aren't allowed to disagree with OP in the slightest, then what's the point of keeping the thread around?

The GP comment was aggressive and name-calling on an inflammatory topic. That's way over the line, not "the slightest".

Of course people have strong emotions about these things. That's natural, and the site guidelines are also very clear. For example: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
