This had to be in response to a recent instance of moderation where I had added to his thread title. He did not like that, citing censorship and free speech issues. I had not replaced or removed a single word of his post, and his post remained visible to all, even today.

Yet here we are.

I waited a few days in case there might be further contact from him.

Account closed upon request.

Man, a little criticism and some people lose their shit. (and it was very little criticism at that)

“I don’t wanna play with you anymore! I’m going home and I’m taking my ball(s) with me!” Well, we have an ample supply of balls around here.

Dunno what’s going on with Max but this seems a tad extreme. Hope you’re O.K. dude.

Thin skin around here is like a balloon in a needle factory!
