I see a lot of examples of "I got banned over nothing!" that after examination it becomes clear they got banned over.. everything. If something fits that mold I get suspicious. Which is why I ask for counter-examples. Cause its never really nothing, right? But I think I'm picking up what you're putting down. It just hasn't been my experience that moderation teams are that polarized, it has been my experience that people blame a polarized environment for their own poor behavior though.

Doesn’t this just mean you have the same ideological inflexibility these moderation teams do? I’m trying to understand what actual counterpoint you have made here.

  I think we're just sharing perspectives, if you're looking for a hard line to draw between us you're gonna be confused.

    Poor gaslighting. But I agree that sides are inappropriate to draw here.

      Thats kind of a rude and abrupt accusation.

> it has been my experience that people blame a polarized environment for their own poor behavior though I've seen a lot of both, and I think you should be very, very worried about your perspective on this. There is an overwhelming amount of uncomfortable truths which people are hostile towards. Especially when those people have a narrative; narratives almost always being ideologically over-simplified and therefor in conflict with reality. If you want a really easy one, I recommend looking into the statistical "math" behind the 75/100 wage-gap. It still blows my mind that one is not allowed to point out super faulty math, and that many people still hold that number to be truth.

  So, in this topic I have requested (and received) examples that were contrary to my expectations. I don't think theres anything wrong with my perspective.
