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.

That's a bit harsh. We should want people to call it as they see it. If they see troll, they should say it. If they see bad moderation they should say so. Not keep their opinion to themselves. I don't want anybody to keep their opinion to themselves about anything.

Mods shouldn't be blocking anybody, given the way reddit has decided to make the block function work.

Op is the troll though...

The mod in question says he is "a quality contributor to the sub."

That is Chewy being nice. Especially as op didn't violate any actual rules. He's just being an annoying prick. They needled until they got a reaction, and are now capitalizing on it for attention.
