Which one of your .ml buddies got banned from a community or instance, why did it inspire you to post such a contrived "question" in this community, and how clever did you convince yourself that your little pet hypothetical was when you hit "send?"

It wasn't one of the ml buddies that got banned (I don't even have any), the instances of people banning each other that inspired me to make this did so because I wanted to know the borders of what people considered overreach when it came to ethically justified bans, and me inquiring something shouldn't be any issue either way.
Ever ask if maybe you and maybe others are being a tad toxic? Funny how I've been experiencing this ever since standing up for someone from another instance (completely unrelated here) as if there's something more going on. If you don't understand/like something, talk it over or leave.
So a .ML user posted a rant about bans, seemingly from real world establishments based on the wording, in a .ML group, and you felt it would make you seem normal to come in and take the opportunity to assume he was talking about .ML members being banned from other communities and to complain about .ML users?
Mirror.
Moderation is a volunteer activity that requires dealing with the public. I'm willing to give them wide leeway on how they want to moderate their own communities.
