You have to understand the purpose of the comment.

I am not kicking back on my Barcalounger and saying, "ah, screw it, I don't feel
like dealing with moderation issues."

As I see things, your issue has been dealt with. You think it was handled wrong
and I'm sorry for that. But I'm not going to change anything simply because you
keep complaining. Saying "elect somebody else" is much more polite than saying
"deal with it and shut up." Because what else am I supposed to say? If you camp
out at McDonald's and constantly complain that the prices are too high, they
will not lower their prices. They will call the cops.
