Makes me think of:

• What people think programming is vs. how it actually is

I hate to say it but this is quite an apt comparison

I’ve previously made posts with unpleasant vote ratios and have also been met with criticism/constructive criticism but haven’t resorted to shooting out bans.

The primary issue is that they’ve displayed their inability to take criticism and resorted to using mod powers as their chosen immediate action.

• shoot first ask questions later

I personally feel that all credibility and rationality is thrown out the window due to this observed behavior.
