Got banned from reddit for saying that Peter Thiel should be turned into soup 3 times.

The best bit is it went like this:

  • "peter theil should be turned into soup"
  • "th-iel should be turned into soup"
  • "I got 2 warnings because I suggested Peter Theil be turned into soup like a bit in loony tunes"

And lo, 15+ year account into the bin, and reddit along with it.

you deliberately miss-spelled peters name but where still punished (by a bot?) ???

Yup. And the third time was discussing policy in context, really.

The difference between saying something and a newspaper publishing that something was said.

I was finally permabanned for a message I'd posted many times without anyone blinking. Then Trump gets elected, and it's a permaban offense.
