This is what happened to Occupy Wall Street in the US, and I’m convinced it was intentional movement busting.

Probably the same thing with the climate protests in Germany.

A very very soft ESH. I don’t see how attempting to correct a misconception is anywhere close to a violation of “Be excellent to each other”, but a single day ban is absolutely nothing worth feeling anything about either.

Also, rules aren’t computer code, some hard and fast true or false. From the mod’s perspective, someone was just given a “verbal” warning and reacted flipantly about it. A single day ban isn’t an inappropriate escalation from a comment warning.
