Drama caused by a question I've posted on an English forum

1  2015-02-01 by [deleted]

I'm not a native English speaker and just wanted to learn other ways to express the idea of "a dick move" (which I often see on Reddit). When I asked it, I tried to give example sentences and made it clear that I was looking for milder alternatives with no swear words. However, the users who were patrolling new questions find it impossible that somebody could ever learn slang without knowing other perfect ways to express the same thing.

Since my original post and comments trying to defend myself, my question was downvoted a lot, closed, heavily edited by a moderator, and then re-opened by him. I've already deleted my account and don't plan to be part of their censored/sheltered community anymore, but they are still arguing over whether I was a troll.
