> > doesn't this person have a right to not like deputies if he'she wishes? This person never expressed dislike in any particular person, just moderators in general ... In other words, no one was specifically attacked...it seems to me that this person was just showing disappointment in certain authority figures he/she has come in contact with in the past

So, this all about a bad choice of words?
If I'm not mistaken, the poster said "It may not apply in all cases, but many mods....blah blah blah"
Meaning, this person got blocked because he/she seems to believe that dishonest mods exist somewhere? Do we know for sure that all mods everywhere are fantastic people? I've personally come into contact with not-so-good mods ON OTHER SITES - i know they exist.
I could understand it if this person had said that about all mods/deputies, or if the poster said "mods in general are...blah"
But he/she did not say that.
In fact, I think that second post by capricorn was purely trying to explain WHY he/she thought the joke was funny - so people WOULDN'T be offended.
That's all.
