I say we get Emrs' side of this story.
I did not report the thread, and only reported a handful of threads (less then 5 I think) in the years I have been a member there. I have *never* reported a post that was directed at me. However, I have said in the past it is quite evident their moderator system is a strict report -> moderation.
As I mentioned Billiv, the point is that 1) your original statement on the matter with the point being silly was a wasted sentence. It was not needed and all it did was weaken your argument. 2) Regardless of how tame the statement is, it is still an attempt to label and thus trivialize a position.
As I have said in the past, which you brushed off, it does seem that the majority love to push around the minority with these hidden phrases buried in long paragraphs. When the minority get more impassioned in their standings, then the majority all of the sudden just mass report them for being over the top. I have seen this time and again on the WotC boards, and I find that kind of moderation to be pathetic. Rarely is only one side completely to blame, yet it always seems one side comes off squeaky clean.
I am absolutely sure that sometime I will be banned from WotC's site for the amazing moderation procedures that take place there. I still have 1 person ignored there because I can't risk replying to that person without them taking random offense. Force help me if I correct somebody's spelling.
