Problem was the wording of Shiney's previous posts suggested that he relied upon NonCon's past reputation in determining his propensity to act the same way this time around in order to prove he was overreacting and therefore breaking the rules. If Shiney had said "I analyzed the evidence of NonCon and TDK's respective actions impartially, concluded objectively that NonCon was the one predominantly responsible, and then took past evidence into account solely to determine what punishment to assign him," yeah, that's within the bounds of the American legal system.

It wasn't Shiney but it was still a moderator.
