# To GitHub staff: please don't delete user's accounts due to their activity on this repo
No matter how rude, I strongly believe that insulting is an important part of freedom of speech.
As such, I must say that I am against the deletion of user's accounts based on anything they say on this repository (or anywhere else, unless it is truly illegal information).
My skin is very thick, and I don't care at all about it.
I simply block the user and move on.
And conversely, you have to see things from their perspective: Chinese wumaos are insulted by people criticizing their government.
It is therefore only because you agree with my perspective that you have allowed this repository to stay up for so long (for which I am very thankful).
The way to beat the dictatorship is to show them that we have the freedom of speech, which is what they don't have.
Furthermore, not banning such users has the following advantages:
* it serves as a clear demonstration of the level of radicalization of some pro-Chinese Government believers, which many people in the West haven't fully grasped
* when China becomes a democracy, such issues will help secret services/activist groups expose the true identities of these people
The only time I have come to you myself asking for a ban was when [users were creating a deleting accounts to overcome my blocks](https://github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/issues/191), as that generate endless work for me per wumao. But with your help + the limit new account interaction setting, that went away.
Sorry for giving you the regular extra work of reviewing wumao flags trying to take down this repo every so often, and thanks for letting me keep it up so far, I really respect GitHub for that.
All best.

Keep in mind that [Ciro's Chinese sucks](https://cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship#does-ciro-santilli-speak-chinese), so he may not get the full nuance of your comment, especially if you use a ton of [slang](https://cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship#slang).
- if you make a comment and delete, people who received notifications can still find your username: https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1833#issuecomment-660128741 so think twice before doing that on a non-shitpost thread that Ciro is subscribed to.
