Seems appropriate enough in this situation.
And i think his displeasure in being censored was part in due that he was on a sub off topic thread where equally as questionable things where not censored, primarily in the opposition. Sometimes the “terms” aren’t applied evenly.
And
“Don’t like it don’t post”
Is pretty much what he’s doing now by deleting/censoring his posts.
I’m sure he didn’t expect things to end up this way when he joined the forum and started posting. Now that they have he left.

In the context of the situation he(and others) were breaking forums rules. I guess I just don't see that so much as censorship but a rule being implemented. Kind of how I don't see a little kid yelling "fuck" in school and being punished censorship.
I didn't see it in the end, if you say the rules were not being applied evenly that is a shame. The fact still remains that he was breaking a rule. Complaining others were not censored too is like telling a cop you were speeding because others do too and getting mad when you still get a ticket. The thread was still shut down, like all the other covid threads, so I don't think that is the ideological sword to fall on. It was all pretty moot.
I will miss reading his forum contributions. They were interesting and practical.
