apparently I pissed off one of the moderators (when asking him why is my question "off-topic")

No, apparently you pissed off all of the moderators when you called them all dick-sucking cunts.

You must be a really special dude to do that and then get your feelings hurt when you get downvoted for it.

If that is all it takes to piss off a mod, they need to be demodded immediately. That really the weakest insult you can throw. [The insults are more annoying than offensive]

To be clear: your position is that SO needs moderators who don't downvote "cunt" because it's not offensive enough?

Anyway, doesn't matter--throwing insults, weak or strong, deserves downvotes. I don't understand why you're defending his right to be a complete asshat on a moderated forum. It's only just barely even related to the topic at hand, since he earned his downvotes.

Really they don't even need to downvote at all, it'll get downvoted (as it probably did) by others. Asshats are going to exist regardless.

Yeah... it really shouldn't have been downvoted.

Should have just been purged.
