Well, I agree it is sometimes difficult to discern what is freedom speech and what is out of limits, that is mods concern, not us. I find this “mute” tool quite interesting, maybe it is a good way to avoid quarrels. In Spain we’ve got a saying: “Ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente”, less attractive in English: “Eyes that doesn’t see, heart that doesn’t feel”.
It’s clear that we cannot ALL get along well, so before going ahead in the wrong path, use this marvelous tool, peace and cheers everyone …
