curious as to why you left all the trolly comments and removed the comments from the person being trolled?

edit: they clearly are seasoning:

Sealioning refers to the disingenuous action by a commenter of making an ostensible effort to engage in sincere and serious civil debate, usually by asking persistent questions of the other commenter. These questions are phrased in a way that may come off as an effort to learn and engage with the subject at hand, but are really intended to erode the goodwill of the person to whom they are replying, to get them to appear impatient or to lash out, and therefore come off as unreasonable.

as a mod, if you’re looking to foster communities for open discussion rather than a place that will become toxic, punishing people for being targets of trolls while leaving trolls alone isn’t the way to go.

I don’t get how I did anything close to sealioning lol. I made a point with sources and asked for an explanation as to why someone disagreed with me

I read through the thread a few times and while at first glance, it looked like one person was trolling, my conclusion in the end was that it was actually the other person. That's why I deleted those posts.

I seriously considered removing the entire thread but my thought was that it would remove transparency. I'm not always going to get this right but I'll do my best and listen to the follow-up comments.

i read through it, too. it's pretty textbook sealiong, and I don't see how you don't see that. as for transparency, that's what the modlog is for.

if your stance is to punish the victim, I'll know to see clear of this community myself. since fostering a toxic atmosphere is your goal, this isn't a community I want to be a part of

I'm confused as to how we got from "I reviewed the whole thread and tried to make a fair call that protects the users in the community" to "if your stance is to punish the victim and foster a toxic atmosphere". I'm here to help, so please take me at face value.
