mods, how come this post has several deleted comments? could we at least have a specific reason for deletion? here's a few options for vaccine-related topics:

  1. comment was anti-vax, and everybody (most people online) hates anti-vax, often including mods
  2. comment makes bald claims and posts second-rate evidence (like scientific magazine articles instead of research papers)
  3. provocative behavior, inappropriate slang etc.

on such heated topics the reason must be stated, otherwise you will lose your subscribers.

"conspiracy" is clearly a misunderstanding by the mod but he won't admit it. The reason of moderation must be objective. Here instead there is a (bad) assumption by the mod. "Bad" because as I said I refuse both "anti-vax" and "conspiracy theory" labels.

Also I find "conspiracy nerd" to be offensive and I think his intention was that.

How does one formally ask for his comments to be restored in cases like this?
