Asked /r/news mods something, probably shouldn't have bothered

So, I deleted everything I'd posted to Reddit almost a year ago now and have been over here in federated space since.

But I do occasionally read threads over there when they are posted over here, just to see what a larger number of commenters are saying on specific topics (or just to remind myself on how disturbing a lot of the Reddit community has gotten over time).

Anyways, to the point. I saw this thread on /r/news had been removed for violating the politics rule: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1c7fhna/usstopsunfromrecognizingapalestinianstate/

I decided to send the following message to the /r/news mod team with the Message the Mods button:

"Why was this thread labeled as politics and removed? Thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1c7fhna/usstopsunfromrecognizingapalestinianstate/

Meanwhile, there are multiple threads about Trump, threads about Palestinian protests, and a thread about Florida allowing chaplains in schools.

What exactly is the definition of politics that the mod team is using to claim the former is disallowed due to politics, but not many of the other front page political topic threads?

For that matter, why does a US action in the UN count as overly political in the first place?"

Not sure what I expected, but then a few minutes ago:

"You have been temporarily muted from r/news. You will not be able to message the moderators of r/news for 28 days."

So yeah. Was my message out of line? Aggressive in some manner? I wasn't trying to troll or anything like that.
