Nothing they did appears to have negatively altered the quality of the comments or discussion.

Respect is also subjective. Your initial post seemed to be mocking and disrespectful for no apparent reason. I'd argue the comment section is more respectful with your remarks gone.

Objectively, it appears they were right to delete their account. You're stalking posts mentioning their site and complaining about this nothing burger.

I would also distance myself from pedantic harrassers and focus on literally anything else productive if I were them.

What was wrong with them removing your comment? You were being annoying 🤷‍♂️

Their response seemed perfectly measured to someone being needlessly pedantic.

Edit: And also Shuts down? Did you miss the 'down'? Was the title edited after the fact? What does the rest of that modlog say? The screenshot is cropped.

My perspective is you were being annoying, got downvoted/called out, feigned shock, got your comments removed, and now you're on a bitter smear campaign.

This is the weakest accusation of mod abuse I've seen. Good grief.

With goals like that, I'm really not sure what you hope to accomplish. Even by not engaging with the topic, you still engage with him. Your stance doesn't matter. On the black and white forum of lemmy, simply by replying, you're disagreeing. Lines have been drawn and nothing said will do any good or change anyones mind on anything. You are still engaging in the culture war.

Let the mods clean it up if he goes too far.

I still think you're both weird
