I am the moderator he is referring to.
I under no instances or circumstances instructed him to "read my mind". So don't put words in my mouth and make up things because you think you can get away with it. Lying about what a moderator tells you is very wrong. I referred to 2p2 policy; I said if a post violates 2p2 policy then report it. That isn't "instructing you to read my mind". Perhaps you should read the forums rules and guidelines before you post in it.
ethbtc88 reported a post for reason "trolling". I told him there was no trolling whatsoever in the post that he reported. Therefore it was abusing the reported post function. The post he reported was this:

I swore I wouldn’t get involved in Bork talk but this is exhausting to read and I have enough alcohol in my system that it’s time to step in and let it rip
1. Let’s be absolutely ****ing clear. Bork is an ENORMOUS upgrade over womp and if that Super Bowl played our with Bork instead of Womp the Niners win. And it’s not remotely close
2. Bork is undefeated in playoff games where he didn’t rip his ****ing elbow
3. Bork is consequential but inconsequential to Sunday. The Niners can win if Bork shits himself. The chefs have absolutely no chance if son of a drunk degenerate, brother of a sexual predator insta influencer, husband of a cuckqueen influencer shits himself
3a. That’s because the Niners have a better team than the chefs by a pretty wide margin
4. What does that mean for Bork’s evaluation? Look man if the Niners win the Super Bowl I don’t care if this guy gets paid 100 mil a year to lose every single game
5. Playing lavender haze while writing this post
Let’s dance ****ers
As you can see it was a post discussing Brock Purdy, the 49ers QB. There is no trolling in the post. "StoppedRainingMen" is a 49ers fan and he expressed his arguments listed one by one. Passionate posting while possibly drunk is not trolling.
ethbtc88 on the other hand appears to "play dumb" over and over to the point that it really appears he is being "obtuse" on purpose to have a trolling effect (mostly to frustrate other users, making it nearly impossible to have a reasonable conversation with him). One clear troll he has been doing as a 49ers fan is to throw in a "Go Chiefs!!!" post every so often. It appears he is posting in a way to garner as much attention to himself as possible.
He is also very sensitive when posting, taking offense to other people's viewpoints and opinions. He is also very insensitive while responding to other members here, seemingly going out of his way to be rude. This can be interpreted as a means of trolling (incessantly, as he is posting in this manner quite repeatedly and consistently) or at the very least posting against the guidelines of the SE Forum. Sure people joke around and have fun from time to time in there, but overall it is a very friendly and jovial subforum of 2p2.
Bottom line is this user, ethbtc88, needs to:
1. Drop the act of repeatedly/consistently playing "dumb" on purpose to frustrate others (i.e. being obtuse)
2. Stop attention-whoring nearly every chance he gets. The thread involves ethbtc88 but it doesn't revolve around him. He is not the Sun in the SE Forum.
3. Stop being so sensitive against other posters' viewpoints. He is allowed his viewpoint on the Super Bowl, Brock Purdy, etc. while others are allowed theirs. No one is attacking his viewpoint if they disagree. Disagreements in sports fandom is incredibly common where there is often no "right answer". It's part of what makes discussing sports so rich and great.
4. Stop being so insensitive to others when posting, i.e. being rude at almost every single opportunity given. This reminds me of famous sports movies with a coach telling his players "You don't have to like each other, but you WILL respect each other." That's how I moderate the SE Forum. No one has to like everyone else, but they must respect everyone else and their viewpoints.
