However, the rules on their home page contradict themselves:

"We welcome all ideas and opinions, and will exercise minimum moderation only when we believe laws are being broken...But our platform is not a launching pad for criminal activity, harassment or the promotion of violence or bigotry in any form, against any one."

You cannot accept "all ideas and opinions" and ban hate speech at the same time. Why?

1) Many opinions and ideas are either hateful and/or bigoted (if wildly unpopular)

2) "Hate speech" is loosely defined; what's acceptable now may be "hate speech" tomorrow.

@venusinlibra666 Oh no! I got that last year, it was terrible. It gave me massive headaches, and the painkillers I would take (Ibuprofen, I think) stopped being effective after a few days.
