I didn't realize that you could be shadow banned for supporting someone else's post. Most polemics have some valid points even if you disagree.
Either way, I agree with you that SB is despicable. It's a passive-aggressive conflict intervention strategy that not only acts as a tool of censorship, but is incredibly disrespectful to the community as a whole. Placed in any other context, having someone decide that we will all wear noise cancelling headphones whenever someone speaks, or that Steve gets the broken walkie so no one will hear him, it's really obvious how degrading this is to everyone involved.
I've never been SB either, but I've always been disgusted that such tactics were seen as a solution to garner increased respect within the community. It's offensive.

it is, that's what moderators are for, to moderate and if a user is too toxic, ban him for a couple of days, be definitive, don't fool him by making it so no one would read him, the troll will never learn
