Agreed.  I have had the system do exactly the same to me.  I have no problem with the G&M using such a system to manage the tone of the discussion here.  I have problems with the G&M telling me what my opinion of another person's comment should be.  Since the system has already decided this was a "bad" comment, why am I even seeing it for an opinion?  Should it not have already been removed?  If this is using banned content for "user training" I am utterly uninterested in being told what my opinion should be and attempts to train me will not change that.  As for "sanctions" by the system, as a subscriber I am a rare quantity in a world where everyone wants their news for free.  I can find other uses for the money that pays for my monthly subscription far easier than the G&M can find new subscribers.
