I never called you stupid and I'm not debating you. My questions were asked in earnest.

I was trying to figure out what you want exactly. Especially because I don't know what I want exactly and maybe if you do I might learn more about what I want.

I know you must have considered all of these scenarios and the tradeoffs involved.

I've thought about these scenarios hardly at all. If that's a mistake, that's one I've made.

You've decided to prioritize... what, exactly? Avoiding conflict? Protecting a toxic user?

Not acting when I don't know what to do.

What value are you prioritizing that outweighs the safety of your community and the credibility of your own Content Standards?

The value I'm prioritizing is more of a rule-of-thumb: when I don't have a clue what's best, and the decision effects more than me, I don't unilaterally begin doing things. I don't operate with a high level of confidence in the world, a level of confidence where I think I know what's best for other people. I'm also not a punitive person and I'm tolerant to a fault - either by nature or nurture.

Also, fwiw, the content standards are a copy-and-paste from another social media website that we added just to have something. afaik these things are written to allow a generous window of subjectivity when making controversial decisions with regard to a service. Meaning, they aren't an operating manual - they're a legal shield.

These sats are wasted talking to you.

I suspect you'll think I'm being cute, but I'm sorry you feel like you wasted sats talking to me and I'm sorry most of all that I disappointed you (or anyone) by not doing enough if I should have done more.
