I tend not to get excited about mod behaviour, because as I have said here before : most people become mods to they get their own ban button.

Anyway, this is that. 😆

    YDI, not for the comment, but for your history and the mod seeing the comment and checking your history.

        6 different moderators have censured you in the last few months

        it tends to remove the benefit of the doubt.

              The context being, because other mods have banned me, this mod should to ?

              A touch medieval don’t you think ?

                  So, I read the piece, my opinion of the piece is that it’s far too emotional.

                  So I wrote that.

                  If you are, as perhaps the moderator was, somehow inflamed by that, I can only apologies and wish you the best of luck with forums.

                  Alternatively, if I’m out line as you say, maybe I’m the one who should avoid taking the time to add comments and keep a dying platform alive for a bit longer ?

      I say some popular things and I say some unpopular things, but I’m glad you like it.

      What’s your favourite bit ?

          IIRC It was replying to a guy, who said he liked to jump hard on the brakes every few seconds if people were driving too close, so I wondered, you know, if anyone had got pissed off with him .

          I don’t see anything wrong with it, but like I said - mods like the ban button, it’s why they do it.

    This seems like a big overreaction to me, so I see it as a clear PTB. I dislike the idea of banning people based on history in other communities, other than to check if they are a bot or advertiser or something obviously malicious. Trolling could mean something as simple as being sarcastic, and glancing through OP’s history they seem to be a real person who believes what they say, even if they can be quite rude about it.

    But the upvote/downvote split suggests the community is more divided on this.

      Sidebar of that community’s instance states

      We have a strict nonviolent approach and welcome anyone who is willing to learn and check their ego at the door.

      Seems reasonable to ban OP based on their modlog
