Edit: There used to be a screenshot here. I messed up the link in an edit and don’t have a local copy saved.

My comment was roughly 'It already looks like it might be better than things now, at least Biden never advocated for full displacement of all Palestine."

I had already seen half the comment section of the post with ban marks. This single comment copped me a fully-expected permaban. Unfortunately my comment doesn’t show up in modlogs so I had to retype it more or less from memory.

The bloodshed:

Screenshot edited as per mod request.

Most of the banned comments are actually still visible. If you browse the thread you’ll notice there’s nothing particularly inflammatory or banworthy about any of them.

Best part, in the middle of all that banning, our buddy found the time to mod the one guy in that post who supported his opinions. Welp, another echo chamber in the making.

Follow up:

The mod posted in a similar post in this comm. FWIW, while I stand by my actions and opinion, I did msg them to offer them a personal apology.

    Nope. And your “autistic streak” comment is demeaning and unnecessary.

    I apologise if I offended you. I was mainly talking about myself but I can see how it could be misconstrued otherwise.

    You are doing a very clear and intentional misreading. Mod said “the known serial killer was given a gun, he would not have been able to kill if it weren’t for the man who gave him a gun” and you are doing the disservice of interpretating all sorts of terms like “primary party” “over everyone else” and “Biden carries more blame” that were NOT in play. You’re the one doing disinformation here and I would absolutely ban you for manipulating my words like that.

    We’re going to have to agree to disagree here. I think the way he’s replying is obvious enough, but it’s not like I can ask the guy for clarification since, you know, hair trigger ban.

    Anyway, I think I’m starting to get frustrated with the communication difficulties and it’s making me more cutting than I’d like, so I think we should just call it here. No hard feelings regardless.
