Getting heated means you should always expect moderator action. God knows I do, and I get heated all the time.
Somehow, ‘butthead’ feels like more of a violation of civility than ‘asshole’ would. Like, it feels like you didn’t type that out in a blind rage, but stopped, said, “I need to say something insulting but I need to dial it back”, and settled on butthead. That’s like, premeditated or something. Incivility in the First Degree. TAKE 'IM AWAY, BOYS
There was no heating. The person was getting mad about a small penis joke directed at trump saying he’ll never see it. I felt in that context posting that comment with a screenshot of me tweeting the joke to his account would have been seen as the obvious joke it was.
I mean, YDI.

Butthead feels even weirder in that context, tbqh
Explain.
If someone else is mad but you aren’t, responding with a deliberately petty insult comes off as needling, not joking.
That’s fair.
