Worried

I am worried at the news that a friend of mine was either banned or temporarily banned on FA. This is the sort of liberal witch hunt backlash that I've predicted. Because when you see heresy all around you, from your perspective, and can't find any genuine witches: you will invent some.
If that sort of behavior is allowed, its only down hill from here. Next will be ponies and humanoid artists because they do not conform to being "furry enough". And after that, they will begin purging anyone that does not make a high enough popularity quota, because why not. Once a power to arbitrary get rid of someone is given, it inevitably is used over and over again by those in power.
Now I know a part of this controversy is about those showing Nazi or pro-hate group artwork, statements, etc. That goes against policy, ok that checks out. But the scuttle bug I've been hearing is that, this is not the people being effected by this, but instead anyone that is disagreeable to the PTB.
