And let me explain what I mean when I say that your response was out of line.
As moderators, our task is to enact and enforce rules. But enforcement doesn’t just mean deleting any and all offenders. We want to be as welcoming as possible while still not allowing the rules to be bent significantly out of true.
This means applying logic in our actions, doing things that are likely to modify behavior towards the ideal, so that near-compliance can become compliance, instead of lost activity.
You applied a ban so long, it will be EASIER for me to just supplant your community entirely, rather than wait it out and come back with improved behaviour.
