Baygo posted almost 700 times, mostly related to his businesses. He was and is welcome to continue doing so. This thread will remain for all to view. What's the problem?
It's disappointing to be accused of not supporting businesses after the lockdown just because of that PM. I've never posted this but in an attempt to help small businesses I suspended all ad billing when the lockdown started and ran ads for all of 2020 and 2021 for no charge. I've received no ad income for more than 2 years. I've paid almost all of the expenses related to running this site out of my pocket. Those expenses are not insignificant, especially now that I'm retired and living on my SS. I've now resumed some paid advertising and hopefully will get enough income to cover the expenses. I've also always welcomed information about new businesses and products.
I do think it's ironic that baygo, because of one PM, is leaving the site where he has has posted unimpeded for years and has certainly helped his businesses for a site (Facebook) that is famous for censorship, shadow banning and removing content that does not fit their ideology.

Why so angry when someone disagrees with your actions? The decision you made was to act on others suggestion for him to tone it down. As noted by many others and myself I see nothing inappropriate in what he was posting. On the topic of costs associated with operating the site. I for one have never seen a thread by yourself or others asking for donations? We all appreciate what you have going here. If you need a few bucks to keep it running, just ask.
