Please do not take portions of my post out of context. I have an entire post explaining what that line means—that @What_Exit should not have gotten involved in the first place. That you should have been the one to make the decision from the start.
And, as you’ve indicated, it seems you would have made a different decision. You aren’t even sure if you’d close threads when people were banned.
I’m arguing that mods don’t and should not have the authority to jump into other threads for non-emergency situations that are based on a judgement call. If you disagree, please argue with that, and not snark at something out of context.
That’s the type of argument I get on YouTube.
