That is properly aion spaced diana patrick flofroggs task. Plus louis.
Anyone else want to take a shot at it?

If you feel a guideline has been crossed then make a report, reference the guideline and it can be raised for discussion.
Insofar as I can see, while Relax maybe has put forth an unfavorable, perhaps even harsh, generalization of "Americans" (which I'm not btw), she also admits to the generalization, added that she includes the nature in her own identification and that it was not directed at any particular individual. To my awareness, there is no guideline against such generalizations and this does not strike me as a form of hate speech. If she was directing this speech as an attack upon a forum member then certainly it would be crossing the guidelines.
However if there is some area you feel I've overlooked, feel free to bring it up.

I notice those details came up after i mentioned the guidelines. A sort of ex post facto justification.
Saying millions are dying, engendering an us vs them rhetoric, and putting the blame on americans in one post.
If you want to let that continue, that is up to you. It is no longer my concern.
If i wanted to make a report i would have done so. Like i said, i would overlook it. That one time.
Breaking my own word is funny but not interested.
My directness in speech can come across as unkind/uncaring - but for me, if I care I don't prevaricate or sugar coat - I may not be correct - but I do offer my honesty - because there is love in honesty. If I didn't care I wouldn't make the effort to engage when my heart calls me to post.
So my love and respect for everyone here is actual. It's why I have difficulties interacting here because I love a lot - but tone is missing and my words are blunt.
I had/have no intention to blame America for the situation in India - I don't know how you get that - and no 'us vs them' rhetoric.
Pre your mention of guidelines (not after) I mentioned being in Australia, criticised America and mentioned a current catastrophe unfolding in India.
No one on this thread bears any responsibility for what is unfolding in India.
(The only criticism I place is that anyone from any country who refuses to wear a mask and refuses to stand 1.5m from otherselves is directly risking their own and others health at the moment - in certain locales.)
The frustration I expressed about the US is decades long - it's felt by probably at least 2/3d's of the population of my country and of other countries,
It doesn't mean my country is without flaws, and I have much compassion for America/ns.

lastly, you are a very interesting person Y - I think you have a lot of significance for B4th - but I also noticed that you joined B4th with an 'I have a higher authority/access to higher info - but I'm not allowed to tell people' vibe that I find a bit offputting at times
But here is not the place to discuss that - I only mention it - because you have reacted strongly to me being assertive, when you are also very proclamatory, assertive and authoritative in tone yourself.
If it's any help - you are loved, not alone, and I respect you.
