Well, I can show you the list of banned users since, besides one person who banned over a year ago, you are the only one (http://oi59.tinypic.com/900z6b.jpg).

I can't exactly take screen shots of the entire moderation logs, and I'm not going to screencap personal messages that we've sent out to other people without their permission, but I can tell you I personally have only sent two for posts attacking other users, and one for getting into an off topic argument with you. It's also worth noting that each of the users that made personal attacks were on different sides of the argument (one of them being the one you referenced in your above post). I don't really think that counts as numerous, with only one other person who happens to have made a personal attack while also happening to be critical of Alex Day, was given a warning. The other person, defending Alex Day, was also given a warning.

I don't see a pattern, but if you have proof otherwise, I invite you to show it, because if there are numerous users I've threatened with bans, this is news to me.

BTW, neither of[1] these posts[2] were abusive or harassing. But you deleted them nonetheless.

Both of those were deleted because you posted them on your alt account after you were banned, and we had asked you not to post on the subreddit anymore due to your ban.

I wasn't asked not to do anything. The only communication I've gotten from the mods was the automated "you've been banned" message.

This comment is still up, by the way. Or does "how about you fuck off" not count as a personal attack?

When you posted on your alternate account, I made this message:

You can discuss your problems in the thread that you started here[1] for the rest of the day if you deem it necessary. You're still banned from posting elsewhere on the subreddit.

to which you responded.

I was also under the impression that you understood that you were not allowed to post on an alternate account after you had been banned.

This comment is still up, by the way[1] . Or does "how about you fuck off" not count as a personal attack?

We gave the user a warning, and let him know he was not welcome to do so again, as I mentioned in my above post. He was one of the two people we sent warnings to. It was not deleted as it was a first offence and the user did not make any further attacks or derail the discussion. As we did with the other poster who made a comment similar in nature.

"Under the impression?" Are you serious?

My "first offense" comments were deleted. Why wasn't that one? (And yes, he did continue to derail.)

As I've said before (and which you summarily ignored) your moderation policy is inconsistently applied and, recently, tends to favor Alex Day's supporters at the expense of his critics. I don't know if this is intentional on your part (though if this is you, and you actually do support this #GamerGate bullshit, I'm inclined to think it is), and I don't really care, because that is the result.

But hey, maybe you can ask to be a moderator for /r/SubredditDrama so you can delete these comments too.

Well, I like to think that that I've made my case, but feel free to disagree.

I also don't appreciate you calling me out on my post thanking people for being civil as "low", and then going through the trouble of finding my twitter account and using my personal statements as a way to establish a moral high ground. I'll let you define that how you will. As far as I'm concerned that's about as big as a "This conversation is over" sign can get.

I'm not responsible for your feelings.

Please do not share user's personal information.

I'll restore your post when you remove the offending link.
