Is this aimed at me?

It is a legitimate question, but I would not go as far to say it is a better question. How can a mod read a thread totally off topic because posters are personally attacking a posters and punish the poster for defending himself?
I think a poster purposefully ignoring a mods decision for a 30 hour period to continue denying false things being said about him after he gets banned for defending himself against unwarranted and false attacks is a perfectly acceptable response.
I believe the mod contained me because it is easier to make the problem (posting off topic) stop by banning one person rather than the 3-4 posters who were teaming up against the other poster. However I would love to hear an explanation from 27 on why he made the decision he did.
