It would appear nobody told me we were airing our dirty laundry in public. I would have appreciated a ping rather than being subquoted, since I've only just seen this. I'm prepared to take your comments at face value for argument's sake, but consider my perspective. I've almost certainly forgotten some of the details, but let's have at it.

You were aware that I wished in retrospect that I had made explicitly clear in the rules for #53 that players should not use avatars or title text to communicate with other players, as this violated day/night phase posting restrictions and the requirement to have all game communication presented in a permanent and unedited format. In response to this, you changed your avatar to a Cylon toaster - an obvious suggestion of a Mafia claim - during the night phase. This had a substantial tangible effect on the game, as it was noticed by the Town's vigilante, who shot you as a result. From the PMs I received, I know that they would have otherwise shot a Mafia player. As such, your actions can legitimately be seen as a major factor in the Town's loss. As the moderator, I found this incredibly frustrating, and I'd been frustrated by the extent to which your avatars had been speculated upon in-game prior to that: the issue of your avatars being used as claims dominated discussion during Day 1 of the game, which you'll recall ended in a no-lynch. You were, for reference, a Vanilla Townie. There's a large degree of tolerance for varying levels of skill between players, but a player who seemingly purposefully causes their own team to lose is without a doubt a bad player.

Since we're posting PMs, we may as well include the PMs I sent you after your death in #53: The Cylon Toaster avatar incident caused me to double down on my belief that you should pick an avatar before you get your PM and stick to it, and I continued to push for such a provision earlier in this thread.

You didn't reply to my comments regarding your conduct, but during the sign-up thread for #54 a day or two later (not during #53, as you claimed) you changed your avatar to mine. This struck me as rather passive-aggressive. The avatar that you copied was a Fairfoxed version of my face, so to say that your use of it was unsettling would be an understatement. You can see here that I changed my avatar after that.

Let's have a PM that I sent to Joe in response to this: It would be unfair of me to post Joe's reply to this, so I won't. However, after Joe told you to change your avatar, you changed your avatar to his avatar. That seemingly kicked off the "everybody has everyone else's avatar" thing. I noted my objections to this a few times; for reference, I primarily read the forum on my phone, hence the avatar a person uses is my primary means of identifying another player. During the Russian Roulette game that preceded #54 I was away for work and was entirely reliant on my phone to read the game. I found that I had great difficulty knowing who was posting, as well as forming reads on players because the avatars were all scrambled. Your response to me indicating that I didn't want to play under those circumstances was distinctly less than pleasant, and incredibly passive aggressive - it's quite apparent this was a reference to the prior discussion in this thread, which again, you never personally responded to. At this point, it was fairly obvious that you were directing attacks at me out of some kind of personal animus. (I should note that that avatar switching continued into the game, so without a doubt I would not have enjoyed playing.)

Let's have some more PMs from the time, which I sent in conversations to others. Here's one regarding your post: When asked about me dropping out of #54 before the game: Neither individual spoke at all positively of your post.

I don't recall the details in between then and #55, so I'll skip over that.
