My guess is that this line had a lot to do with the mod instruction:

> [@What falsifiable claims do the holy books make?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-falsifiable-claims-do-the-holy-books-make/668952/96):
>
> Hey now, until a mod says otherwise, I’ll be snarking. If it hurt your feelings, maybe the internet is too rough of a place for you. 😛

That’s attacking the poster rather than the post. A semi-official “knock it off” seems warranted in my view.
