@phil1008 yes. It is exactly what happened here

@Galerita I can see you are disagreeing, with me. That's fine - the important thing is that you learn what the site expectations are, and when people give you guidance on how to edit your posts or update them, you must take them as that: guidance so you can improve the post. If you don't heed them, downvotes and deletions are to be expected. And if you respond rudely, then we have workflow for those instances too.

Here Phil is really not helping you - he had various warnings for failing to follow site guidelines. Most new users who properly read the site guidelines do well.

So, I see @RoryAlsop is claiming that @galerita wrote rude or aggressive comments that had to be deleted. And now @RoryAlsop appears to be attacking my character and threatening one of my new posts. I'm inferring that the reason for this is that I chose to support @galerita's position and held @erinanne to a higher standard as a trusted user?

@galerita is it true that you wrote rude or aggressive comments that had to be deleted?

@phil1008 (1) Your post is not being "threatened". A moderator noted that it doesn't answer the question which was asked, and suggested that you delete it. I see no threat against the post, nor an attack against your character.

(3) I see absolutely no evidence that any action taken by the moderator here is retaliatory in any way. However, if you believe that you are being targeted, please take it up with the community moderation team, using the "Contact" link at the bottom of every page.

@XanderHenderson RoryAlsop has done this to me several times. Trust me when I when I say that my post is "being threatened" or at least harassed. (ref, ...

... ref, ref). There are couple of others where I was able to get the deletion reversed - but it took a while.

...and I perceive the statement "he had various warnings and suspensions for failing to follow site guidelines" to be an attack on my character. Do you think it's appropriate for a mod to try to win an argument by publicly discrediting the person who made the counter argument with data that's only available to mods?

@XanderHenderson Thanks for taking the time to review and weigh in. I think it's extremely helpful to have an uninvested third party chime in with their perspective.
