It wasn't clear whether you were making a swipe at moderation or the community or both, and I guess I tried to cover all possibilities. You've clarified that it was at the community. Thanks for that. But the guidelines specifically ask us to avoid sneering at the community, because it's repetitive and unfair to the people here. HN is large and heterogeneous.

> On that note it would be interesting to do a sentiment analysis of flagged replies. They seem all over the place and it would be interesting to see if there were any biases.

Show me where the sneer is.

You didn’t “try to cover all possibilities”. You responded to the worst interpretation of what I said and injected some heavy snark in the process.

At this point what I see is a moderator who made a mistake and needs to get the last word in which is frankly ridiculous.

Please stop interacting with me unless you have some actual rules to enforce.

What did you actually mean by this, in your first comment?

Genuinely hilarious reply.

That I found the reply hilarious.

Are you, a mod on this site, actually engaged in a back and forth with a user in an attempt to find anything at all to “moderate”?

You made a mistake in your interpretation of my reply and in the process of replying broke multiple of your own rules.

Your comment history is filled with reprimands of users for less.

If dang wasn’t as impressive as he is this interaction would have zero’d out any respect I have for this mod team.

If you genuinely just want to abuse your mod position go ahead and ban me for having the gall to hold you accountable I guess.

		I was trying to understand exactly what you meant so I could understand how I got it wrong. It didn’t even cross my mind to ban or penalize your account. We don’t do that.
