You intentionally posted an inflammatory discussion post in /v/videos when you saw that we were going to.

You've already denied that. But you admitted it, in a reply to a mod comment giving the go ahead to put up a sticky.
As you can see, Kevdudes comment came in after all three of us agreed to make a sticky, and he did not ping the active mods. I can not see any good intentions in that.

There are better ways to handle it.
I read some good advice somewhere once. It goes like this :

If you feel you have been the victim of censorship, try PMing the mod to see if it was a misunderstanding of some kind. People make mistakes. Sometimes you can resolve it on your own. If this does not work, make a thread in here. Provide a link to the thread or relevant modlog. Ping the offending mod in a comment stating the issue. We will do everything we can to help you achieve resolution.

But what's done is done.
All I ask now, is that you sit this out and let the users speak without fear of downvoats.
I am not saying you are doing it. But sometimes your presence can have that effect.

I know how PV and some of the community feels, now I want to hear everyone else as well.

Can you give me that?
