It is not a big deal.  It's one of those things where a complaint comes in and
the moderator has to make a decision that is guaranteed to be wrong, and the
wrong decision I made was just my way of being wrong.  I didn't want to wrongly
delete the post, and I didn't want to wrongly tell the person who complained
that there wasn't much reason to delete the post, and I had to do something in a
hurry before some other moderator showed up and did a different wrong thing than
I was going to do, causing us to get into an argument that we were both going to
lose, and I was frustrated because I knew that I was about to mess up no matter
what I did, so I wrongly suggested that people try to avoid putting me into
position to screw up in the future.
