More like i don't bend myself to fit the hivemind/status quo. Maybe Copernicus also didn't contribute nothing of value cause the comunnity thought so? As I said most times there is no sensible rebuttal to the facts/thesis given, it's only "i don't like your opinion so go away". After some time the board/comunnity degenerates to a echo chamber where the nails that stand out are quickly hammered in

That can happen here and in other forums, but it still doesn't mean your rights are being trampled. You go into a polarized community and start speaking against the status quo; what did you expect to happen? I'm not saying it's right, but it's the way of society. But being modded down or +gasp+ having to hear someone's opposing position does not equal your rights being trampled. You make it sound as if you only want your opinion heard, and anyone who doesn't agree with you is "trampling your rights". There's a ton of irony there.

> but it still doesn't mean your rights are being trampled.

Where did jsf666 say their rights are being trampled, you've just invented that unless they've edited their post. This is like strawman the post. On topic it's hilarious that he/she's complaining about downvotes for airing opinions against the hivemind then gets downvoted for that opinion. Way to prove them wrong. (jsf666 comment is currently greyed out)

Not really.

> Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.[1]
