We're getting off topic so I'll keep it short, but my experience was Mike manufacturing reasons to penalize me for politely engaging with people making illogial claims and one in particular spewing hate on the forum. Mike had posted in the thread, blessing it and the next day decided the thread had gone off the rails, which was fine with me. The problem I had was he penalized me when I hadn't broken any rules or done what he accused me of and when I showed his reasoning to be false, he started claiming some other reason, which I then showed to be unfounded, so he manufactured a stream of reasons why I should be penalized while not penalizing people who actually were actively breaking his rules. Perhaps most ridiculously he stated he didn't even read the thread because "That user is an idiot and I don't read their posts". I still have no idea what his issue with me is, but when staff punish you for a thread they post into but can't apparently even bother to read for doing something you didn't do while ignoring the actual infractions for the claim actively done by other users seems absurd. To then keep changing the excuse for why you're penalizing a user when they show the reasons to be unfounded is a pretty clear sign of rot from the top. I don't have a history of being a problem anywhere, I'm outspoken sure, but I'm reasonable and will accept any valid criticisms or penalties for things I've actually done.
