Yeah, while my politics are typically fairly in line with the average Reddit user, I have little tolerance for bandwagoning or purposely misconstruing the opposition, so I always tried to emphasize that "while I totally agree with X, we shouldn't pretend that there's some huge outcry for Y or that Z is actually illegal anywhere in the US." Usually didn't matter, and I got banned anyway.

But I guess when your identity is super wrapped up in being online and a mod, you need to feel like you got a win against the evils of the world.
