    That is my final word on it as a mod and I advise you not to try to argue with me further on this.

    That’s ridiculous to say. You’re of course free to have a different opinion, and free to not respond, but a veiled threat to someone following the rules in expressing a disagreement with you is absolutely ridiculous.

          I mean I wouldn’t argue about you doing your job in politics. If you have an issue with me as a moderator, airing it out in public is not the way to do it. It’s not good for either community.

          I do not feel that I need a long argument to justify why I sometimes delete a comment using a word that the people who it is used against find offensive. Especially when I didn’t do that this time. If you want people to argue endlessly with you about your reasoning for doing something as a mod in your communities, that is your right.

          And when someone not just ignores what I have to say about it, but claims what I have posted says the literal opposite of what it says, then yes, I am going to shut that conversation down. I think I gave them plenty of time to air out their complaint that me occasionally deleting “retard” was completely uncalled for because it’s not offensive. They certainly didn’t do me the same courtesy.
