(Note that the quoted bit I’m replying to ends after the word “…issue” and my words begin at “What a fucking…”)

In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as “trolling.”

Except .ml, apparently.

    Focus, please.

    What matters here is if OP is trolling or not. Unless there’s yet another hidden .ml rule like “if we assume you to be deluded we’ll remove your comment”, but then it should be explicit and properly tagged as such in the modlog.

    From your other comment (to avoid double reply):

    While technically your intent isn’t that of trolling

    We [people in general] don’t know someone else’s “intent” over the internet, nor we should lie to ourselves (or worse, assume) that we do.

    so mods have to take the more reasonable assumption.

    No, they don’t. To assume is not acceptable mod behaviour. (Or decent/moral human behaviour, when you’re dealing with other humans.) Rule enforcement should be solely based on what is visible.

    That includes trolling. Now, here’s the question, does OP’s comment constitute trolling? You should argue if it is or it is not; the rest is just skibidi toilet.
