One dude got into a highly uncivil argument about what constitutes "real physics" on a post of a tumblr screenshot with overwrought prose about... (tbh I don't remember now but I'm thinking electromagnetism?) then reported the other user. Don't get me wrong it was bad tumblr prose but like. It's a genre some people like and a staple of tumblr culture which the comm was about.
Anyway I temp banned them both (I think I did accidentally remove too many comments but anyway) because they were having a toddler level squabble with profanity over tumblr poetry. One of them called me some kinda profanity so I permabanned them and they made a post on power tripping mods and pretty much everyone was like "you know we can still dig out the comments AND your DMs and you're kinda just a menace... right? Like I woke up and pretty much everyone had already defended me. Anyway I blocked them and moved on with my life. People need to use the block button more often tbh.
