Most simply put, if you can go on a forum and say "I think X is great" and nothing happens, but saying "I think X is bad" gets you infracted, that isn't a place where you can have a rational discussion, because those in power have already made up their minds, and don't want ideas they don't agree with to be discussed.
This is probably choppy water, but consider Endus. Loves Muslim people. Espouses them emigrating to the west, saying they're all doctors, engineers, and such. Post something he agrees with, you're fine. Now I'm pulling this rhetoric out of thin air, but it's what came to me while I was reading this:
Post an article saying that there's been 3 million immigrants in the past year but only 15,000 doctorates awarded so obviously not all of them can be doctors, infracted for flaming or forbidden topics or some other excuse.
