I don’t actually disagree with anything you said, other than your claim that your comment was not a political jab or that such should be allowed in a fact-based forum. I also actually think Colibri’s tone was not helpful and only served to escalate your anger, rather than try to understand it.
I get why you think what you said should be okay. But there’s no content-neutral way to apply that so that it wouldn’t also apply to everyone else.
And I say it’s a political jab because it was an insulting someone, and based on politics. You admit the latter.
I really do not think you should ever let people whom you think did wrong force you to leave a place you otherwise enjoy. That’s acceding control to them. I disagree with the mods many times, particularly on racism and bigotry issues. But I stick around because I won’t let that push me away.
I hope you will reconsider leaving after you’ve been given time. We need people like you in the fight.
