Requests need to be made without violating current site guidelines, so it would be safest to state your request generally, without using examples that would currently be against board guidelines.

"conducive to civic harmony and welfare"for me, that means also to be reflective about the past, to admit mistakes sometimes and to try not to do it again.
I don't have any problems with ww2 survivors comparing how wars do start. I personally find it 'conducive to civic harmony and welfare' to listen what older people say who survived a war and pointing out similarities to make us aware again and again not do harm people. If you can't there isn't freedom of speech.
Here, I am not really satisfied with the deputies actions and I don't think that these actions follow the guidelines.
Finally, I think it's better to leave this not to waste too much energy.
