This is not my forum. If the moderators believe that the section allows any topics (for example, approval of racism), then I do not argue with them.
I expressed my attitude to this topic immediately, flagged the first message for moderation. But moderators left the discussion .
Now I only expressed a wish that the forum would remain free from such topics.

The "in this board" might be the qualifier. Maybe a mod will chime in.
In my country, at least, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. You are also entitled to choose not to view a topic that doesn't meet your criteria.

DIctator, hu? Zensursula meets the bill perfectly - she's not even elected, non of the EU commission is. Which is per definition a dictatorship. or more precisely an oligarchy. But a personal election? Interesting .. I'd like to hear your definition of a dictator then.

This moderator is following the discussion but staying out of it because I have a personal rule to keep my politics out of this forum.
If you don't approve of this topic then I wonder why you are here.

Are you saying that the Commission is not accountable to Parliament, who are elected?

While Russia is technically a democracy, a president that has been in power for a quarter century and who can be ousted only by coup or assassination certainly looks like a dictator to the outside world. Our Fake News reports that only about 20% of the Russian electorate actually vote so that implies not a very representative government.
How about seriously authoritarian, would you buy that?
This just cracked me up! 
Im here trying to learn Arduino and run into this jargon. LOL

Try asking a question in your post. Questions end in a question mark (?).
It was rude.
It seems that you want to set the rules for others, but you don't like it when you yourself are criticized 
The author of the post I was speaking to has one topic on the forum that has been active for three day and has no response at all from helpers. I was suggesting that if they were to ask a question in their post (which they have not) then they would be more likely to get help.
I don't see that I have been criticized so I am not offended.

- I will be leaving within the next 7,300 days.
When I get to my destination, I hope all politicians are cozy warm in theirās . . .

Many politicians are destined to end in a very warm climate I'm sure.
I hope to last another 7300 days as well since 100 is a nice goal.

The Commission is neither elected (The members are agreed uppon by the goverments, there is no election whatsoever) nor are they accountable for anything they do. It's per definition oligarchy or god-state run by a priest class.
In Austria the "ĆVP" is running the goverment since over 40 years. Non of their members was ever elected. No election ever changed their agenda. Latest election-joke almost 5 months ago "removed" ĆVP from the government, but due to "democratic mechanism" the non voted for government is still in charge and will stay that way till the next elections. There is a saying: "We don't have Mafia, we have ĆVP".

It should be obvious that the fundamental standards of behavior are enforced in all categories:
https://forum.arduino.cc/faq#be-civil
- Be civil. Donāt post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
- Keep it clean. Donāt post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
- Respect each other. Donāt harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information.
- Respect our forum. Donāt post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum.
Although I personally am interested in subjects more directly related to embedded systems, I think the categorization of this topic under Community > General Discussion is reasonable. Community > Bar Sport is also a reasonable category for political discussions. However, categorization under Community > Bar Sport will rightly be seen by the community as a license for unserious and wandering responses. At least at the time of the original post, I'm not sure @sonofcy would have welcomed the "bar sport" type of discussion.
