This is the most hilarious nitpick I've ever seen.
Does the word "hilarious" here add light, or heat, would you say?
Truly incredible.
Speak plainly. Sarcasm (much like humor) is a tough line to draw, because it's not always an unreasonable rhetorical technique. But when it is clearly being employed to needle someone, that is not conducive to productive conversation.
This is how you act anytime someone points out verifiable facts that go against you
Pots and kettles, all the way down. I've given stoatherd a two day ban for rising to your bait elsewhere, but please don't imagine that this means it's okay to go around baiting people.

Straightforward antagonism. You were somewhat recently banned for "boo outgroup." You tend to press the boundaries on that a lot, but you get some grace because you often take up issues that get you dog-piled, and I think we all know how frustrating that can be. You've even managed to get an AAQC recently!
But here you've allowed your contempt for your outgroup to pour over into disdain for your fellow users. That, we cannot allow.
Three day ban.

Too much heat. You've actually eaten a previous ban for letting this user get to you before, and this response is moddable on its own. Relitigating grudges in every thread does not make for quality discussion.
I'm making it a two day ban this time, in hopes that you get the idea.

Congratulations! I'm sorry to have missed your announcement, so I'm glad you brought it up again here. I have seen enough people take the opposite trajectory from yours that I find it comforting to read about people making good choices and improving their lot.
I had never heard of "magnum opus dissonance" previously, and it does seem to fit many people's reactions to the reception of their own work here.

The advantages to behaving like a lady are so great, I don't understand why more men and women don't try to give their daughters this advantage. Do they just not know? Do they think this behavior is incompatible with also being intelligent, educated, and highly-paid? Do they think it's just too hard?
It has been my experience that many of them think it is oppressive. The idea of having and maintaining behavioral standards that might sometimes (or worse, often) conflict with one's immediate impulses is routinely presented to young people as evidence of sexism or even racism. The replacement of "no sex before marriage, sex after marriage even sometimes when you're not in the mood" with "sex whenever you want, and only when you want" is an example of this shift in expectation development. Everyone reacts to these developments in their own way, but broadly speaking I would say it has resulted mostly in a great deal of hurt and confusion among young people today.
I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to as "the initial offense," but magicalkittycat was banned for it. What is "jannie cover?"
It's not strictly that call-outs that are banned, I would say, so much as heated ones. Posters who are aggravatingly hypocritical can certainly have that spelled out, but it still has to be within the context of a rule-abiding post--more light than heat, ample charity, etc. We do actually mod people when it seems like they are baiting others deliberately, but that doesn't mean we're going to refrain from moderating people who snap at the bait. As always, bad behavior is not excusable by other people's bad behavior.
