This is not an argument to keep the YLYL thread but i wanted to express my disagreement with the moderators decision to delete the entire thread as i believe it sets a bad example especially since at the time the poll was in favour of keeping the thread as it was.
:Some consider me overweight so when i see threads promoting exercise it makes me feel bad about myself
:I've decided to no longer eat meat but the Burger and Pizza threads make me crave it and that's not fair
:I feel video games today are damaging our kids and shouldn't be promoted on this site
I didn't post in the debate because the agreement to close the thread was too convoluted as i felt the focus shifted from "is the thread good for CP" to mainly policing people's comments on the internet. Again in my opinion, I always believed we all had the right of freedom of speech here set within the rules of CP in combination with the choice to decide which threads we read. If the title or the first opinion posted in the thread offends/doesn't interest you then the right is yours not to read it, can't we make it that simple? At the very least, i believe the mods should have archived the thread but in the end, i do respect their decision.
