In my opinion, the mod should have shut their mouth before making an ass of themselves because only after they were called out was the thread frozen. But maybe that's just me.
In my personal opinion, I think the mods are honestly in a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation, but they definitely could have handled this a lot better, starting with not writing such a condescending post on how they're not here to teach Triggers 101, or how they're the only ones who know what a trigger is (which is the impression I got). They also could have just kept things listed to a general set of things that need to have a content warning for (gore, rape, etc) and then asked if there was anything else that needed to be added, with a possible reason why.
For example, I would like to know *why* a warning is needed for things like swearing and reality bending when those are core staples of the whole bloody canon and have been obvious from the beginning. (For the curious, the first swear, 'smartass', appears in the very second 'page' of Homestuck. 'Fuck' is on John's desktop.) You say they don't believe they're trolling attempts, and those are the reasons why I believe that's not true.
