    We aren’t going to engage with the arguments here at all. This isn’t a politics community. Only reason I even mentioned it at was to avoid knee jerk responses.

    Seriously, you can’t roll up into a community that’s about gathering opinions in moderator actions and expect regulars to go very far debating other things. It isn’t the place for it, and it isn’t a useful aspect of determining power tripping beyond the bare minimum needed for accuracy.

    If anyone wants to discuss the details of the merits or flaws of your opinion, that’s on them, but it’s outside the scope of the community, so I’m not.

    I specified rule 3 of c/politics already, and referred to their elastic clause of reserving the ability to moderate outside of enumerated rules. I’m not sure what else you want in that regard, but I’m not in the mood to break down every single rule when just those two cover the question of power tripping.

      Rule 3

      Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

      I don’t see how I broke any of that.

        That’s rule 2

        Rule 3 covers your comment.

        You may or may not agree that your claims are misinformation, but genocide denial is generally moderated under those grounds. That applies to more than just the Israeli issue, there are other genocides that people will insist aren’t “real” genocides.

        That is a matter of semantics and pedantry that is very, very often used by bigots, like when antisemites claim the holocaust wasn’t real, that it was exaggerated, or that it wasn’t a genocide because it wasn’t successful in eradicating a population

        Again, this is for the sole purpose of discussing the moderation action as it relates to power tripping. While I have opinions about what’s going on over there, they’re irrelevant to this. The one and only goal I have in this is pointing you to the rules and giving an opinion about why they might have been applied to your comment, based on general practices by that community. I absolutely will not debate the matter in this community.

            Dude, are you kidding?

            I have zero interest in whatever pulpit you’re pounding. You came here, you c/powertrippingbastards, made a post and got opinions about whether or not the mod action taken was or was not power tripping.

            Every fucking comment you’ve made has been argumentative, and in multiple cases, off topic for this community

            I do not give a flying fuck about your opinion. My opinion of the general fucking matter of Israel is fucking irrelevant as well.

            I’m fucking telling you that that’s what the fucking rule used to remove your fucking comment was about, and you’re still trying to be a fucking prick and play some kind of shit stirring bullshit.

            Well, fuck you. You can take that kind of thinking and behaviour and shove it square up your ass because up until this I have been nothing but respectful and on topic.

            Let me say this one more fucking time, you jackass. I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR OPINION WAS. That’s not the fucking point of this community. I don’t even remember at this point what your comment said in detail, so I can’t even tell you if I disagree with it or not.

            But I’ll tell you this much, you fucking pimple, you need banned from the fucking internet for pure, mule headed stupidity
