You wrote,[...(I think) that it {>might be< conducive to civic harmony} if you don't post |anything| about Nazis...].
The grammatical structure of your statement here, as a reply from you to me, has a generally accepted meaning that a {probability} is being brought into the discussion as your use of {it >might< be}. For if it {might be}, then there is also the potential that it might >not be<. This could be determined by various methods as to if it could or could not be .
If something [{might be} conducive to civic harmony if I or others don't post about something], then could it not also have the potential to be something that {could be} conducive to civic harmony here?
You wrote that it is your {thinking} that it might be conducive to civic harmony if I don't post >anything< about Nazis. I am interested in what it is in your thinking that you have used to post here that it would be conducive to civic harmony if I don't post {anything} >about< Nazis. If you could post here what it is in your thinking that you used to post here your reply to me, then I could have the opportunity to know what it is in your thinking and post my reply to you here about your thinking. I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean here as to the grammatical use here of the word {anything}, about Nazis. Does not the word, {anything} have the potential to mean an absolute prohibition as to mean {at all}? If that is the meaning that you are wanting to have others here perceive as the way you are wanting the word {anything} to be meant, how, in your thinking, could that be conducive to civic harmony here if it is an absolute and the forum has a mission for members to offer education and support? If that subject can not be posted about here, what other subjects could, in your thinking, be those that if they are not posted about, will be conducive to civic harmony?
