And a week, at that??? That seems grossly disproportionate given the punishment doesn't fit the crime-- especially since you're "... not actually sure this has a clear interpretation."
Actually I agree with this. The reason given means a week is grossly disproportionate. Upon further reflection and examining the threads I do think a suspension is probably in order: the infamous rape comment was not on topic, unnecessarily inflammatory and unrepresentative of the solicited opinion of Taz.
The General Moderation thread has been cluttered up with incessant debate for almost half its 'natural' length. Whilst there was nothing inherently wrong with the post itself, it did come after moderators showed concern about the clutter and I feel that your post was off topic and just contributed to the clutter.
So I'm reducing it to 2 days.
