I didn't but to me it's both religious and political, which are both banned subject types....

Ofnuts,
it was not initiating a debate, either political or religious.
Many other posts in Gimp-chat where asking for prayers and stayed.
“Peace is a good which overcomes every barrier, because it belongs to all of humanity”
I don't think that inviting to pray for the peace is offending someone here.
Conbagui and Rod added their posts to my topic, then I went out for many hours and - once back - I didn't find any more the topic.
Could at least the moderator who cancelled the topic be so kind to answer here?
Thanks

When i log your post was already removed , anyway i believe that the problem was not something wrong in your message or the replies but in the risk to ignite a political or religious discussion, that here are banned.

The point is not much what you or other had written but what other may add, it is really hard to control similar topic just to give a idea , not to start a discussion (please not :( ):

You said could be nothing wrong to invite to pray for peace , but other may believe that could be a method to trick yourself and the other ,to discard responsibility but pretending to be doing something useful ...what i did for poor starving people, or for protect your planet or for the peace ? ...i prayed a lot and i invited other to pray!

NOW this was only a random example ,was not to start a debate, and doesn't reflect my opinion , it wasjust to show how polemic or even flames may be ignited by a apparently innocent topic , when involve religion and politic

Thanks to everybody in GIMP CHAT.
I got a lot of help from many members.
I wasn't able to do the same towards other people, sorry.
This is my last post (hopefully it will not be removed...)

Our policy is not to censor passing references to politics or religion.

We do not allow specific topics on politics or religion because they can easily get out of hand.

I don't know the extent of what was mentioned in the thread but one of our moderators must have thought it had the potential to get out of hand.

We do apologize if anyone was offended by our thread removal.

Topic closed.
