I disagree with you on this one, Doc. But, that's because I am a supporter of the classical art of trolling. The likes of Ken M. I will always be annoyed at propagandists coopting the word "trolling".
Oh, I don't disagree with the ban being ridiculous. It's a disagreement with the statement that "earned" it. And yes, isolating oneself from good faith disagreement is... unproductive.
I had forgotten, I had a previous run in with this same mod.
Context: They removed a joke comment I had made, so I reported them to themselves for having a criminal lack of humor. I don't count this one as mod abuse though, and it was pretty funny.
