As ever, I had trouble distinguishing green and blue.

Not my favorite, by far. Half the categories are a bit rubbish.

PTB. AFAIK, RTFM N/A. NGL, NIMBY! YMMV, TTYL.

I often agree with your positions on various things, Phil, at least to the extent that it seems that we're operating from a similar point of reference. That said, and in light of the nature of the private communications remaining private (as it should), there's only one conclusion that seems fitting.

PTB.

One instance of anything hardly seems like grounds for a ban. Repeat behavior certainly could justify that action, but in the absence of any pattern it seems like an overreach. There might well be further justification for a ban based on the direct messages; but, as you're submitting your own action for analysis, the only fair way to evaluate is on the grounds of what we are directly privy to. Anything else has to be viewed as simply your biased interpretation of the private conversation.

In the circumstance you describe the onus on the user is not to be "receptive or apologetic" to you in the private conversation, only to correct their usage of the report system. As presented, it reads as if they were banned because they did not show adequate respect for your authority, which is clear PTBehavior. Further, you attempt to bolster your point by painting Squid, a user who loves to try to win bad-take arguments by referring to their own mod status in other communities (essentially a PTB themselves), as undeserving of ire despite an extensive history of spinning out, losing the thread, and generally being a dick when it happens. Carrying water for someone who comes across as power-trippy does little to shift perception of your own actions away from that mark.

I pulled off the rare double nil on my first two guesses.

I cannot even express how shocked I am that the press statement was 75% factually inaccurate; is the Executive branch just blatantly lying to us‽

Seriously, fuck these assholes. The only way they can justify their pitiful existence is through outright disinformation at the expense of anyone they believe they can marginalize. Makes my fucking blood boil. At least it's further proof that you can't rely on the government to do anything other than exploit, decieve, and oppress.

Seemed mostly straightforward, with a little confusion over which of the non-purples would go to each color. I mucked it up between green and blue.
