I have just left another forum joined a couple of weeks ago, in a snit.
What happened: Some guy started laying down the law about how people should respond to his posts.IE the kinds of comments which were not acceptable.
I didn't even swear. What I actually wrote: "from whence do you get the quaint notion that I give rat's rectum what you think?"
A moderator censored my post,removing that sentence because I was 'goading'. I thought "Oh well,OK I guess, if that's the rule", but I asked the moderator who had censored my post what rule I had broken.
Turns out I did not break any rules but "came close" .I don't like the idea of my posts being censored in any case,but I thought that was highhanded and it offended my sense of fairness. Oh, seems it was apparently not just a single moderator on some pathetic power trip,it was apparently a group decision of moderators.
I told admin this is not acceptable and asked them to immediately delete my account. I did not hurl any parting insults, nor even offer any criticism. Couldn't see the point. I had no investment in the forum,and doubt they would understand why I got upset. (OK, fucking livid)
Did I over react?
