      Yeah, this is an abuser’s rationale: “I’m only doing what I have to to maintain my comfort. You’re the ones making me do ugly things like forcibly remove mods, steal their work, and commandeer the content made by other unpaid contributors. I wouldn’t do this if you didn’t force my hand. But you have, so here we are.”

      Compare this to, “Why do you make me so mad? You know how I get when I’m mad, I wouldn’t hurt you if you knew when to stop.”
