To answer one question: This is the line that **we** considered harassing a moderator. That is specified in the original warning.

In writing the suspension notice, we have a good example of what happens when such are done by committee and it drags out for a bit with life happening in between. I failed as an editor to keep to the warning straight.

Finally, I’m trying to find out how much I can talk about it, but there were major extenuating circumstances of PMs to moderators that drove this up to the one week suspension.

Hopefully I can share more later today.

We’ve let a few fairly recent posts of theirs go with a Modnote, here is the one I recall: {please hit the down arrow to expand}

So apologies for screwing up the Suspension notice. That is on me.  
It is now corrected.
