My first community contact on reddit.com went completely nuts (reddit.com)

"I feel very unwelcomed because you directly banned me permanently without a warning. I am a moderator of various ML's in the CouchDB project and find this behavior offensive."

Reeks of entitlement on your part, and to be honest forum mods are bombarded with random shit so much that I completely understand why the mod went all kamikaze on you

Thanks for your comment. Ok I understand what you mean. My intention was to show, that I am not a newbee in community work but in reddit. I was obviously not able to transport the fact, that I felt offended by the behavior of the moderator.

Why do you repeatedly name-drop CouchDB? Does that make you more deserving to post articles on a totally unrelated subreddit?

And, for what it's worth, I find the reply pretty understandable.

Thanks for your comment. I do not intent to name drop CouchDB for deserving to post anything. I take it as an example for a well working community.

May I ask: you find the answer from the moderator understandable?
