That reply is a fine example of how you twist the truth to suit your agenda.

The real truth is that I refused to be dictated to by you. Someone who bangs on about "free speech" when it suits them, but objects to it when they are the target. And then calls others "snowflakes"!

The moderator did not "insist I respect your request" at all. He politely asked that we BOTH restrain from responding to each other as it was getting silly. Polite requests from site moderators deserve respect, so it got it. Diktats from self-appointed site policemen, however often repeated or politely expressed, do not deserve respect, so it got ignored.

I am staying out of the threads but I'll pop back from time to time and if I see hypocrisy or bs, be sure it will be pointed out.
