    From the modlog, it shows that you recently posted comments containing ethnic slurs and were just being completely uncivil in the other (the original comments are all visible in the modlog). Further back, several comments were removed for being hostile. It was only after all that you got a 3 day ban which is basically a slap on the wrist.

    That’s hardly “conform or get the hook”.

      I’ll gladly compare past writings and discuss them. But, understand that a mod has to say something to justify their position and they won’t move off that no matter how ridicules it seems. In this case I referred to Jihad Janes. There is nothing ethnic about that and it’s certainly not a slur. Jihad is a spiritual struggle. Anyway, it was enough for the mod.

        That’s factually not true. A mod can ban you because they don’t like creeks (as in your name) and it would be perfectly valid. Not saying i agree with it, just that they can without having to justify themselves.
