This was my response to the petty "gift wrap" comment. It was removed by the mod, along with my original comment.
Why do you think a mod is going to put up with you calling users/mods in the community controlled opposition?
Idk, by not being thinskinned controlled opposition?
I tried working with them, but they blocked me. I was investigating.
They won't see this, but I really was trying before I discovered I couldn't communicate with them.
I can't help if I can't talk to them.
I was working a report against you, and as I wrote my response, the other mod banned you. I tried reaching out to you, and you had blocked me.
Once someone blocks me, I stop investigating, as I can't work with them to resolve it.
No lies here.
The issue is that you cut me out before I had a chance to respond, and now you're calling me a corrupt mod.
What should I have done, when any avenue to reach out to you was gone?
Should you have been banned? No. A warning would have been enough, I think. And yes, a warning was justified. You had just said that anybody who down votes you is a fascist, when many people down vote people looking for a fight, and not just the message.
But again, you closed off any possibility of me working with you, and went running here to call me corrupt.
I don't have direct contact with the admins any longer. I was actually out of the house yesterday on a date day with my wife when this all went down, and was trying to help from my phone. I'm sure the mod team will have a discussion on this soon.
Also, before you blocked me, you replied to my comment in a DM, as you had been banned ( I was still trying to figure out why you'd been banned at that point)
I tried responding that I was investigating, and that yes, calling dissenters fascists is bring uncivil. People don't become fascist because you call them that. Your attacks are reminiscent of Linkerbaan, who would call everybody that they disagreed with either a fascist or a Zionist. That's a bullshit insult.
When they are a fascist or Zionist.
Emphasis added
If you think I edited this comment, feel free to look at the original in the mod logs
This was my only issue, and again, I feel that a warning would have sufficed. Keep downvoting my comments, ~~but that won't make you less toxic~~.
EDIT: struck through the part where I vented. That wasn't right.
Boom. Thank you.
