Then, can you do the bare minimum to explain the situation? It's the least you owe for those messages. If it is a "misunderstanding" as you seem to be implying, then there must be some reason for why things happened and why you responded the way you did in that server. Help us understand you, its the very least that can be done. One other mod is helping us understand their position on the matter, hopefully you as well can explain your situation.
No longer a mod but sure, I always engaged with people willing to talk in good faith.
I watched for days people heap amounts of vitriol towards people I know are good and well-meaning and have worked hard and did their best, often losing sleep over it, only for it to be brushed aside completely, the explanation rejected, the constant demand for his head like this would solve all their problems, nevermind that cvxfreak was one of our few staff members who even had any idea what goes on in these threads. So yeah, I wrote stuff off the cuff in a Discord about people I found excessively childish and pathetic (to be clear this isn't aimed at just random criticism but those going over the top about it, cop comparisons and whatnot). I do that all the time when excessive shitstorms like that happen. I don't care if this upsets you. For the record it never once affected my moderation decisions. People might expect mods to be robots but nope, sorry to disappoint. Off-duty we talk shit sometimes. Shocking, gasp!
Btw I've banned more people from that Discord and routinely yell at them when they troll/platform war/fanboy like idiots, so this is also kind of funny to think I'm "protecting them" by just saying "don't worry, if you say you like us and don't break the rules you're fine". Anyway
Cvxfreak is a good person and describing what he did as a power trip, malicious, etc. is frankly what makes me the most sad about all of this. Sorry dude. You don't deserve it.
Also my notifications are blowing up (I expected it) but I won't be reading, if anyone wants to get in touch they know where to find me.
