    I try to give anyone who reports something the time of day. Apologies if you don’t think I handled that report correctly.

    Perhaps I should have just PM’d the comment author, so that you wouldn’t have felt the need to get involved.

      I couldn’t resist attempting to help people learn because, at the end of the day, I didn’t actually believe anyone who knows this term could be offended so I figured you just didn’t know about the solar system. That was the extent of my ‘involvement’ until your unfounded accusation.

      Do you always offer to completely change your moderation style when a single new user downvotes you like you did with me? Doesn’t that get a little chaotic?

        I was never offended, which I thought you were clear on before, but apparently not. It would seem like this urge you had to teach others, that you couldn’t resist, was so powerful that you willing to overlook any possibility that it wasn’t required.

        As for the offer of changing moderation style: yes, I’m willing to change. I’m still feeling my way around it. If enough people communicate, through votes or comments, that my approach is wrong, I’ll re-assess. Obviously though, someone as perceptive as you will have realised that my earlier offer was just for your stuff.

          Ah…I did misread. So…unfounded accusations and a threat to remove my posts when, at the time, all I had done was link wikipedia and downvote a single comment.

          You were a moderator on reddit quite a while weren’t you?

            It was never a threat to remove your posts. The ‘threat’, to the extent there ever was one, was to not bother seeking clarification in the event of any ambiguity, and only then if they were reported. As for accusations, I didn’t realise it was plural now. I think I said that I interpreted your vote as disapproval of my approach, which still doesn’t seem like an unreasonable interpretation.

            I’ve never moderated anything before, certainly not on Reddit. You were saying that I reminded you of someone who complained to Crayola. Now I apparently remind you of someone on Reddit. There’s nothing I can do about tenuous connections your brain is making, and this can never be a proper disagreement if you’re repeatedly wondering off into fantasy.

              You have displayed nothing but passive aggressive toxicity since your first comment to me linking wikipedia. You will go far as a moderator of your tiny little kingdom.

              This is the part where I walk away because you are not an enjoyable human being to have in my life. :D

                Oh. Then I’m genuinely sorry. I thought we were both having fun, engaging in a good old-fashioned flame war. Add that to ‘incorrect assumptions’ pile then, I guess.
