I just wish it didn't happen. That's all. I thought it might have been an attempt at producing a logic statement - perhaps with an unconscious bias. I did jump to a conclusion when I read it. Nothing has changed my mind regarding that conclusion. However, I tried to interact with the special civility and objectively that the Faith board recommends and deserves.
I don't disagree with the decision. The words are what they are. Perhaps it is not the job of the moderator to judge the intent of the poster. That would be jumping to conclusions.
