Other people here disagree. And in fact, there hasnt been anything like modding for a single post going “off topic” before. Yes, true, a hijack is often modded when it gets too far. And a threadshit is modded. But a post that simply doesnt go along with where the OP wants it to go has not been modded in GD before. And that is what happened here. In effect, the Op didnt like my arguments and reported them.

I carefully followed your Mod notes as to what was on or off topic. I even deleted two posts after I read one of your instructions.
