Let's start by not throwing insults at people then? Step one, be an adult. Maybe it was illogical and the person was stubborn. But, again, why does an adult with power to censor and erase evidence of transgressions need to insult someone if they feel they're justified in exerting that power? Even a subtle insult like this, without evidence of why, will easily taint some people's opinions on the mod because in general we're taught that insulting others doesn't prove your position.

But I also got hate for trying to shame people for focusing on Trump's appearance. So maybe Reddit is just full of irredeemable idiocy and most of it should be purged, and let us strike all the evidence of why from the site in the process. Clean slate, it'll surely be better off. Then we can circlejerk about how we showed those idiots after.

Don't respond if you expect me to reply, unless you find value in writing for writing. I'm not interested in discussion, I just find the situation stupid. People are stupid. I'm a hypocrite, but holy fucking shit people are stupid. Not angry or nothing, just astounded that something small like the way you appear to others is so oblivious to people, particularly people that do work in a section that requires it such as moderation.

Plus another mod responds like this

Far cry from "irredeemable idiocy". That's civil and explanatory. The other is namecalling.
