We all agreed to the terms, some of which you did violate, which is why you were modded.
Abide or move on; those are your only real choices.

Still don’t understand why posting a breaking news story that was directly relevant to the discussion was marked ‘off topic’, especially when someone else posted the same exact link 2 hours later, and was not marked ‘off topic’. I don’t see how my link was violating some terms that made it ‘off topic’ while the other did not. It seems like arbitrary modding, and/or favoritism?

What don’t you get? It probably wasn’t the link, it was likely your comment on the link. I almost flagged it myself, but ultimately didn’t.
If you meant a /s and didn’t add it, there have been plenty of times where it has been mentioned that text is lousy for tone and you really should add it. Your question about word replacement has also been answered multiple times. All of this points to maybe you should lurk for some more time before commenting again.

It may be that only one of the flags thrown on your comment was “Off Topic”, and that was the one that Discourse showed you as the reason. I’m sure that some “Inappropriate” flags were applied too, and that there were enough flags thrown overall to hide the comment.
If the inappropriate mischaracterisation of the community hadn’t been present in your comment, your accusation of arbitrary modding or favouritism might make sense. In the end, your comment was hidden because the community found it inappropriate under the rules. If you want to keep beating this dead horse, focus on that.
Certain inflamatory and accusatory terms that are thrown around casually by new users are automatically re-written to avoid disruption of topics.

That was the problem? A misinterpreted the tone? Well, that would have saved a lot of time.
People on that thread had been railing about how much they hated Waymo cars. It seemed timely and funny that one was lit on fire.
I added a /sarcasm to the post.

The mod himself has already weighed in on your claims of bias/favoritism.
Complaining endlessly about perceived ‘unfairness’ won’t change the terms.
It’s “funny” to imply that someone here committed a crime?
Odd sense of humor you’ve got there, comrade.
Again:
You only have two real choices.

Someone so very confused about the BBS community and how the site now operates had their comment shunted here from another topic and then complained about that. The moderator decided enough was enough (I’m sure this will cause further whinging from the user).

You’d think that someone whose behavior was so bad it got removed from the Griping thread would get a clue, but nope.
