Sure! I was including “setting up a system that bans other people” in my definition here. I am not that familiar with how DSL works, but given that it bans people, and it was set up by Said, felt confident that thereby somehow Said chose to build a system that does ban people.
Though if Said opposes DSL banning people (and he thinks the moderators are making a mistake when doing so) then I would want to be corrected!
I think he just objected to the phrasing. I do think “set up a system where people can be banned by others whom Said does not instruct on who to ban” is a stretch for “Said bans people from DSL.”
I have generally found Said to mean the things he says quite literally and to expect others to do so as well. It’s painful to read a conversation where one person keeps assigning subtext to another who quite clearly never intended to put it there.
