Edit: There used to be a screenshot here. I messed up the link in an edit and don't have a local copy saved.
My comment was roughly 'It already looks like it might be better than things now, at least Biden never advocated for full displacement of all Palestine."
I had already seen half the comment section of the post with ban marks. This single comment copped me a fully-expected permaban. Unfortunately my comment doesn't show up in modlogs so I had to retype it more or less from memory.

Most of the banned comments are actually still visible. If you browse the thread you'll notice there's nothing particularly inflammatory or banworthy about any of them.

The mod posted in a similar post in this comm. FWIW, while I stand by my actions and opinion, I did msg them to offer them a personal apology.
Thanks, you make some good points. There's certainly room for improvement. In this case I wasn't making fun of anybody, but I agree I could have sugar coated it a bit more.
Yeah, agreed. It's a hard thing to do without seeming like you're kicking someone who's in danger when they're down. Ask me how I know.

Oh, no, I was just saying that it still stung me a bit feeling like, with the poster I was talking about, I had been mean to her afterwards while trying to make a point, in a way that was un called for.
