We have had years of these social media "who deserves to get banned" discussions. Not once has it been a good counter-argument to post someone else seemingly breaking rules getting away with it. It rarely, extremely rarely, is a response to someone who actually has power to perform moderation. It implies that the person you are replying to is somehow biased towards something or someone when in reality

a) it's likely they have never heard of this counter-argument case you are linking, and

b) even if they have heard about it they are not a member of SocialMediaSite's content moderation team.




It doesn't imply anything like that. And in case someone takes everything personally, then they must be an extremely dysfunctional person. I am an average guy looking for truth through discussion, not a clinical psychiatrist.
