Sooooo I already mailed TruckOSaurus about kowenicki's recent ban.

Its got me thinking.

Are you now giving out bans for strong worded replies to ignorance? Threads original OP had ignorant people laughing and joking about it and the first post in the thread is someone posting "lulz".

Is he reaaaally in the wrong for mocking these people?

The 2nd moderated post is essentially a moderation for telling someone to educate themself on the topic at hand...

I wanna know the communities/ other mods thoughts.

He was being an a-hole. It's one thing to correct someone or to point out a mistake, but it's another entirely to go around mosting the same thing over and over again in the same thread all the while insulting the other people in it.

For instance, it would have been fine if he had left out the last line of his first post. But he felt the need to do more than just correct people.

He didnt insult people, although you just called him an a-hole so yaknow.

He pointed out the people who were laughing about it in the OP and opening post and was mocking them. Granted, mocking people is frowned upon but is it really a moderatable thing considering so many people do it here daily.
