I don't know, I kind of get why they are going hard about it. When a website is a community that takes up a significant part of your day, attention, and thought, it's almost impossible not to have strong feelings about how it's ran and how you're allowed to use it, even in principle. I don't have really strong feelings about it myself, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't irk me quite a bit, especially when it seems like all the time I'm either seeing posts not getting removed that the rule definitely applies to, and simultaneously good posts with quality commentary getting removed just because the initial dunk was on some nobody reddit dork.
