Anyway, I herewith apologize unconditionally for any offence and deleted my previous comment.

Going to watch a movie now and eat ice cream. Have fun :-)

I apologize for my previous comment - I felt provoked, but regardless of the context, it was way out of line.

The thing with the banned topic is, I'm really trying to avoid thinking about it, and seeing it mentioned makes it hard to do that, so I feel annoyed whenever it's brought up. That's not something I'm used to dealing with, and it's a corner case that the usual rules of discourse don't really cover, so I may not have handled it correctly.

It was my fault all the way to the OP. I was intrigued about the deletion incident and couldn't shut up and now I thought it was a good idea to inquire about questions that trouble me for so long and to to steer some debate by provoking strong emotions.

I actually understand that you do not want to think about it. It was a dumb idea to steer further debate into that direction. But how could I know before finding out about it? I'm not the personality type who's going to follow someone telling me not to read about something, to not even think about it.

I deleted the other comment as well.
