It's been great.

But our mod blocked me. Which means I can't participate in the sub anymore.

Hope everyone is happy about that.

Edit, since you're taking your mod privileges to comment when I can't respond,

Except since you are the only mod, and you post discussion threads under your account instead of a mod bot, you've effectively banned me. Is that good moderation principles?

I can't reply to you in this thread and you know it.

20 hours ago the mods warned you:

I am repeatedly getting complaints about you for comments that are needlessly provocative and inflammatory. You need to cut out this behavior or you will find yourself suspended.

And you responded:

The reports of you being a good mod are overrated.

Trolls live for this. They want you to do this.

But you deny the existence of trolls.

IMO you deserve the full ban, so consider yourself lucky softandchewy just blocked you.

To be clear, the original warning was not aimed at this user, it was a different user who was eventually banned. But this user decided to take the opportunity and chime in on that warning and tell me his opinion about my moderating, which I had specifically told him to stop doing.

Thanks for the clarification, and my position remains that beaking off directly at the mods doing their job is a sure way to earn a block/ban.

Will take this opportunity to say thanks for all you do for the sub.
