Funny that. We're neither Facebook nor Twitter. Restaurants where I live can and do select their customers. It's apparently fine under EU regulations, which if anything are stricter than in most places. And you're confused about the role of a moderator: keeping the conversation civil is exactly what I'm supposed to do. This, too, is part of free speech. Not that you have a right to free speech in what is, once again, a private venue.

Also, you don't seem very patient, or aware of who's playing with fire here.

There are many things you seem to be significantly less aware of. Try me.

Free speech absolutely applies in private venues. And you would be hard put, to find any country where you are allowed to remove someone from a restaurant because you don’t like the colour of their skin, for example.

One is however allowed to remove anyone from anywhere for being a disturbance the way you are now, in any civilized country. Even from a state institution.

Absolutely not. Quite the contrary in fact. You should go out and try it from the opposite perspective sometime. You might enjoy it, and at least find it informative.

All this shilly-shallying is all quite cute, but it does not help me any further with the actual crux of the matter, only expose one or other of our semantic shortcomings.

I do not mistake your “kindness” for weakness, there is nothing to mistake. You have shown not one iota of goodwill or even the faintest interest in performing your job as a moderator as of yet, which is to uphold the terms of service – not to enforce whatever whim you may feel at any given moment. Such as the absurd notion that I am disturbing the peace.

What you are going to do now, is dig up the logs of all moderations of any kinds to my user content. And then we will walk one by one through each, to see whether they are justified under the terms of service. And if they are not, you will restore my posts. You will then pass on the message that there needs to be significantly more feedback provided when dismissing/addressing reports and when moderating content.

I appreciate that digging through the logs may be taking you some time, especially if no user identification is tabulated therein. Since I have more entertaining ways to waste my time than waiting around though, feel free to post the relevant logs here or send them to me. Or if you have a strong preference, you can also make an appointment to look them through with me live.
