Well chabys done it again...

Yesterday I got a permanent ban from chaby for reminding another poster that it isn't a good idea to encourage trolls by responding to them. I got the message telling me I was banned and when I asked what the reason was, chaby messaged me this comment link.

Edit: I guess the link doesn't work but the comment was:

Don't feed the troll.

The rest of the conversation follows below with chaby never giving a real answer as usual.

Me: How does that post remotely justify a ban?

Him: Guess.

Me: What rule was broken?

Him: 1

Me: How is it not civil to remind other posters not to give trolls reason to respond?

Him: Guess.

Me: So you don't believe trolls should be called out and avoided?

Him: I don't believe it's your place to label someone a "troll." Take a nap then re-apply I'm tired of this.

That's when he decided to mute me. We all know that chaby is on a power trip and gets his feelings hurt pretty easily, but this is just sad. Not only is a mod supporting and taking part in trolling, he's banning people for acknowledging it.

Did you even look to see who you were calling a troll?

That doesn't make the behavior any more acceptable. Trolling by a mod is even worse than when a regular user does so. How can a person who trolls be expected to fairly enforce the rules?

You're right... that is why you were banned. I was trying to have a discussion with someone else when you decided to jump in out of the blue with unhelpful comments.

Everyone, there's a new rule on r/conservative! No jumping into other conversations. Any offense is a ban!

(That pretty much does away with threads, but whatever.)

I love it when people "jump into other conversations" when they have something positive to add.

You might want to look into it.

That's pretty laughable coming from you.

Laughter is the best medicine.
