There's a difference between saying, "I disagree with your opinion" and saying "I'm glad your kind will eventually die off." Mods know that--part of what makes TFP great (I think) is that level of kindness and understanding towards posters from all walks of life. I realize that some posters here are not as socially-graced, and occasionally some crass remarks come out, but to have such remarks come from *Moderators* who are almost always sensitive to the issue strikes me as odd. I'm guessing they didn't realize that the OP was part of the organization.
ps. Yes, the OP didn't state much of an opinion. He was a *rookie*, and probably didn't know how things work.
EDIT: Statements like "I think that's a shitty opinion", are fundamentally different from statements like "You are a shitty person." The first statement is not a personal attack, while the second is. Personal attacks, last I remembered, are not allowed on TFP.
