So it appears that DeutschlandKaiser has been "exiled" for calling Sabovia's practices "dictatorial." Thus, another "dissident" has been silenced. If that isn't "dictatorial," then I don't know what is. Clearly a proponent of free speech, you, Sabovia, must be betraying your own ideals, which leads me to believe you are acting in this sort of "dictatorial" manner without realizing it. I don't blame you for your "questionable" actions, but I believe you should be held accountable, as a delusional person would be for a crime they committed. (Not that I'm comparing you to a delusional criminal.)

Criticizing a leader's practices as "dictatorial" is not a "personal attack," and if they truly think it is, then that exposes a deeper problem, which is that the "powers that be" have lost touch with the plight of their "subjects." I do not believe questionable leaders think of themselves in that manner, because they are usually doing the job in the best way they see fit, which, for whatever reason and through no fault of their own, may not be the best for the people.

By exiling someone, a short-sighted solution is achieved––the dissidence eases up, both because the dissident has been purged from society, and also because the rest of the people are deterred from action for fear of being punished in the same sort of way. There are two main consequences of this. Firstly, people flee the Wiki or are scared into inactivity and self-imposed disconnect from the community. Secondly, ideals for a freer, more pleasant, and healthy environment give rise to revolutionaries who seek to end the tyranny. This thread is the realization that revolution.

Sabovia, I honestly hope this can help you understand what it is like from our perspective.
