As you say, the response was grossly disproportionate. That said, three thousand would technically meet the criteria for thousands, and doesn’t include the initial survivors who have since developed terminal cancer due to Ground Zero exposure.
Regardless, though correct, the use of a vague term such as “thousands” is clearly meant to allow the reader to draw erroneous conclusions.
I think you’re boned, personally, but I’ve never ascended so what do I know? I’ll be watching for an update, though!
Easiest PTB so far.

One of the emoji clues felt particularly egregious.

Blue’s connection was very similar to the way purple normally works today, imo.

There were a couple of clues that I didn’t think were very charitable. I had to work backwards on them by trying to construct the next clue up in the chain.

I had one excess keystroke because of the clunkiness of the keyboard. It didn’t register a letter, so I had to backspace once.
Regarding the admin in question making the statement that your prior conversation with db0 “wasn’t with them” - fuck that noise. That attempt at rationalization alone is enough for me to call their action an abuse of power. I was in agreement with their thought process up until that statement, but using that as a justification reads as “I have authority and what I say goes.” More than one admin on this instance has served as an illustration of the corrupting nature of authority.
That being said, you come off as the type of person who has far too often avoided, by virtue of hiding behind a screen, being punched in the in the fucking mouth for your cowardly behavior. If you know you’re an abrasive asshole, don’t be a craven little shit on top of it. Starting static and then hiding behind a hierarchy when you get your little feelings hurt in return is some real bridge-dwelling bullshit. You deserve the action that was taken, regardless of the piss poor “clarification” given by the admin in question. If that little wrist slap, which is far less than you ask for in consideration of the way you engage with others, is enough to make you tuck your tail and scurry off to find a new viaduct to settle under, good fucking riddance.
