Right on, @steemmonsters! While I believe that during this "politically heated" time is is best to TRY to stay away from speaking about politics, as a libertarian I agree that the occasional commentary should NOT result in sanctions to private property. I have a strong opinion on the issue in question, but I CHOOSE to vent that opinion in "more appropriate" venues. That is a personal choice that people need to make, and I believe that reasonable people are erring on the side of diplomacy for the most part. But, due to the severity of the situation, one can be forgiven for the occasional venting of opinion. Another underlying issue which is brought to the forefront here in this post is that #steemmonsters is ULTIMATELY a "community". The game is an EXTENSION of that community. The Gods Unchained game has recently been brought to my attention, and I have been taking a look at it, but the lack of the established community there, versus the firm integration of SteemMonsters with the Steem blockchain (and its community) has been the main catalyst which got me SERIOUSLY into SteemMonsters, and which is making it difficult for me to "get rolling" on Gods Unchained. My point is that gaming is a SOCIAL experience involving COMMUNITIES, and so naturally the same issues that affect "communities" will occasionally play out in these venues (ex. this current free speech issue). I applaud your defense of free speech, and this shows that SteemMonsters is MORE than a mere game, but a game built on a strong COMMUNITY...
