so if they’d like to clarify that they explicitly want me not to use the words I have in the way I have here then that’s fine

Yes that was the point of my comment being mod flagged. You've added additional context which helps but this probably isn't the right venue for a conversation on the specifics of someone's legal case and state of mind.

Oh I just assumed every post you make has that cuz you're a mod, and I didn't notice till later; when I did notice, I didn't take your phrasing re: "probably" as a demand but a suggestion. Either way, point taken, thanks for letting me have a discussion anyways.

Yea sadly the UI isn't great and there's a bunch of different apps and everything is new. There's badges for mod and admin, and then there's a way to speak as a mod. So if you see all 3, that's an admin speaking "officially".

In general if someone's asking for you to change your behavior- mod, admin, or even a regular user, you should probably take their suggestion if it's reasonable to do so and not asked from a place of intolerance. It helps to demonstrate to the other person that you're responding in good faith because you're willing to accommodate their needs.
