I'm going to weigh in that this is a case of PTB even if, as some others you could have been more graceful. The role of a moderator is primarily to prevent things from spinning out of control like they did here.

That particular mod left his old home instance after realizing it had some problems, and was acting better for a while, but has been returning to many of his old ways. In particular:

1. He has been getting less and less respectful and inclusive
2. He has not been open minded, which is required for a learning environment
3. He has a eurocentric perspective on genocide and atrocity that ignores that even though pre-colonial societies were not perfect, the current state of the world is a very direct result of an attitude that any one society is more advanced/developed than the others they encounter

All PugJesus moderated forums are a cyclejerk of apology of liberalism, imperialism and USA.

I don't understand why people want to participate there.

Alright.

This is definitely PTB. PJ broke his own rules. You can't do that as a mod, period. Doesn't matter what the provocation is.

Mind you, you were a smug jerk as well (edit: and I mean that both of you were being smug jerks), so the only reason it's PTB is that he crossed the line. I might have temp banned your ass a few exchanges previous at the most. Probably, I would have just reminded you to chill the fuck out and disengaged, but I dunno, I can be a hotheaded asshole sometimes.

If it had been temporary, I'd have gone with an ESH since both of you were slap fighting instead of talking, but that's not what happened.

So you were banned by pugjesus because they got high off their own supply again.

First time, I take it?

Arguably he also breached instance rule 1 against ableist conduct and use of slurs as the history of the word moron is quite troubled

This you?

The fact that you've been throwing around that very same word makes me think you're simply looking for drama.

PTB.
I don't know who's in the right history-wise, and I appreciate pugjesus' posts and explanations.
But in this case it feels to me like it was just an interesting argument until he decided to call you a dipshit and a moron (and then ban you). Smh.

PTB for sure

One of the most unhinged, incendiary and often super wrong people on here. They're practically a mascot for bad mods, a leech that clung to the foot of a reddit exodus.

Good on you for trying to bring respectful discussion into their com, but you might as well have been delivering top sirloin to a seagull.

PTB at all times. You did nothing wrong.
