So I ended up deleting it. It would be good to talk to people here (like minded people) about those topics without the fear of the ban hammer.

You wouldn't get banned. That is a decision that is not made lightly. We are all human, and sometimes we say things without thinking... or even it's well thought-out but controversial. To get banned, you basically have to be a shit human (or spammer).

From what I have seen over the years, good people have been banned here too fast for small things.

Small things that, I've noticed nearly every time, they won't cease escalating when asked not to.

Care to provide examples? Because I can't think of a single one. Keep in mind, what you guys see and what also happens in moderation reports and private messages can be completely different things.
