> she was let go That's a very "euphemistic" way of putting it. Kind of like putting someone in a wheel chair could be described as "allowing them to tackle different challenges". She was more than just let go, she was bullied, humiliated, demoted, threatened, retaliated against, and blackmailed among others. Evidence was tampered with, destroyed, or manufactured, along with quite the list of irregularities even judg…

Real quick: all of this information exists in your head because of online articles. You haven't seen the full proof of this happening. Be careful of making conclusion…

It was a cliché one-liner on a divisive theme that was far off topic. That certainly counts as flamebait. This is not a borderline call!

Sometimes people make a more substantive comment in response to a moderation scolding—sort of explaining the background that was in their mind but which they didn't say earlier. I'd say your second and third paragraphs here count as that. If you had included that in your original post, it would at least have been not a one-liner and less of a cliché, and I probably wouldn't have replied.
