I think I can do two obvious things in response, accept it at face value and put you in time out until you’ve let the moderation team know you’ve changed your position, or ignore it and deal with any issues that arise from that position (like repeatedly resubmitting or editing a moderated post instead of appealing the decision in the appropriate place) when they arise – which could result in longer and longer time outs if those issues arise quickly after the end of a previous time out.

I think you managed to shift my Overton window for a moment there. I now stand by my initial assessment.

I was following the democratic primary election. It should be no surprise who my favorite is. YouTube’s radicalizing algorithm suggested this to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU-AkeOyiOQ I think the ideas expressed there can be applicable here.
