Do we value this comment, and their selective enforcement of what gets removed by a moderator?

I checked out the linked post and the community rules for UO. One of the rules is "Defend your position" and you didn't do that. Like, at all. You just threw out a blanket statement in a rage-bait way (which can also be seen as trolling).

To borrow a phrase from another community (where this post probably belongs rather than in General Discussion): YDI.

PS: I checked the modlog. It was a 3 day ban - a slap on the wrist. Get over it.

PPS: Looking at the modlog for that post to see what comments of yours were removed, one thing became very clear: You are very much NOT the victim here. The post wasn't why you were banned. In fact, the post is still up, so clearly that wasn't the problem. It was 100% your attitude and completely abominable behavior in the comment section.

Frankly, a 3 day ban is generous from the mods. If I was a mod and you pulled that in one of my communities, you'd have been shown the door permanently.
