I simply stated there are a handful of actions, that once you willingly commit them maliciously, you're immediately [redacted] and have proven yourself both unable to be as well as undeserving of being a member of society again.

Which is a fucked up statement to make for several reasons.

1. In that very topic I was giving a perfect example of why it's not true.
2. Second chances are a cornerstone of our society. Being given a chance to redeem ones self, learning from our mistakes, and overcoming our faults is a uniquely human endeavor. There's a reason the "bad guy turned good" is such a common trope in all forms of entertainment.
3. The concept of empathy and attempting to understand and help those who are struggling is considered among the highest of virtues. By refusing to even acknowledge that they have a problem and need help, you reveal yourself to be a hateful and vindictive person more likely to be the cause of pain than the answer to it.

All of this is beside the point, though. You asked "if you can't insult rapists and murderers, who can you insult?" The answer is, objectively, nobody. That's literally the entire point of the rules on this site. Insulting people is against the ToS. You might get away with it for minor infractions like calling someone "stupid" or a "jerk" because people understand that emotions can run high in internet debates. But saying that somebody is not even human and that the death penalty should be considered a "mercy killing" is just downright fucked-in-the-head level of insulting and offensive, no matter who the target is. So I'm really struggling to understand why you think there is even anything to debate about your moderation. It's one of the more fair and obvious moderations I've seen on this site.
