        This comment should not have been removed. Flying squid is biased and should not be mod.

        The comment said “I rest my case. You’re too far gone.”

        If I had said this to anyone else, it wouldn’t have been removed. He’s abusing his mod powers to make his arguments look better. He’s too far gone.
