Banned today for making an acronym of 'Diversity Inclusion Equity' in relation to the tragic, senseless and wholly preventable racist murder of Iryna Zarutska, exacerbated by the inhuman callousness and cowardice of the adjacent witnesses.

Not that I wish to protest too much. Poor Iryna is dead, my comment was just an angry and futile expression of sadness and grief on her behalf.

Saying anything at all was arguably in bad taste, mea culpa, but it seemed to me acceptable in the light of the proliferation of actual video footage of her killing. It did not occur to me it might be interpreted as offensive. The robocop judge and jury didn't allow me to explain what I had done or why - which was ironically to highlight that DEI is not the only, or natural, or even correct way to express an egregiously foolish, unfair and damaging luxury belief/woke policy. Comprehensive analysis of my comment is however not required: the instant conviction, judgment and punishment is enough to show just how inadequate, ignorant and insulting AI conformity algorithms are.
