The comment was removed because it contained a slur. I didn't think that means someone is a "bad person" and needs to be banished. We are all flawed individuals. I am not saying this to shame the commenter either. I feel compelled to reply because readers might assume the comment was removed based on the moderators disagreement with this person's stance when the reason was much less subjective.

    I hear you, and thank you for pointing that out. I didn't recall what rule 1 was, so I wasn't entirely sure what the reasoning for the removal was (though I think it would have been fair to remove that first comment even if it hadn't contained a slur, personally).
