I wrote a post (here) a couple weeks ago that was removed for being nonsensical. The message was true, factual, canonical & directly quoted, and written in plain language. I think moderators have overstepped bounds in censoring it as nonsensical. Is there a way to dispute the action?

This isn't a sangha, as anonymity is antithetical to one, no way to hold one accountable for right conduct. Actually you would do well to go join an actual sangha. In fact if all your posts are truthful, that would probably be a very good idea. You get away from your supposed abusers and you get to actually practice Buddhism.

https://www.azbuddhisttemple.org/ <- go there. Get help there.

The message I shared in this Buddhist community is true, factual, & timely. Reading & discussing suttas is a Buddhist practice, including outside temples. I'm an anāgāmi & bodhisattva - please don't assume this isn't the case, and please don't hate me for declaring this.

By 'refuge in Saṅgha', I mean āryasaṅgha - those who have attained full enlightenment or at least the first stage of enlightenment.

What basis are you saying I should go to azbuddhisttemple.org for help?
