Let's settle this matter once and for all.

You are very much entitled to your freedom of speech, but I draw the line at anything that could potentially make any nation uncomfortable. If a Muslim nation were to see "India should be a Hindu country" on our RMB, this natioj could be deterred from joining. We want to grow, not shrink. I therefore ask you and other nations to ask yourself, before posting on the RMB, "Could my opinions and/or my post potentially hurt or offend other people?". If you are even questioning this, I would advise against posting. Only if there is no possible way that your post could offend, then post.

In the real world, you are permitted to say whatever you want. That doesn't mean you shouldn't think twice before you speak: free speech is not a get out of jail free card. There are standards, decorum, that apply in society, and the Internet is not excluded from it. Everyone is still a human being on the Internet, only difference is their face is blocked by a computer screen. Because of this, we should still think twice before we speak. I too may have some controversial or radical views, but I likely won't say them because of the nature of those views.

Because this type of event has happened more than once, I will be setting guidelines for posting on the RMB, and asking people to vote on these guidelines soon.
